In Lafayette, Indiana public art is springing up in the West. Local artists Alexandria Monik and Aaron Bumgarner will be creating art that responds to their surroundings in the West Lafayette neighborhood. Monik takes on refurbishing a dilpated and closed bar by creating storyboard paintings on the shuttered windows and doors of the building. Also reacting to the built environment, artist Aaron Bumgarner paints hands gesturing and drawing attention to the nuances of streetscapes, such as windows and cracks in the concrete.
