You may have seen the new Fishers sign (sans the I) on the Pavilion building between City Hall and the Nickel Plate Amphitheater.  It was installed in late June, but was officially unveiled in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday night.

The idea came from a group of 4th grade students at Harrison Parkway Elementary School.  The idea began with student involvement in plans for the Nickel Plate Trail.

The students envisioned a “Be in the I in Fishers” sculpture along the trail, where residents would be invited to complete the artwork by posing as the “I” in Fishers.

Through a grant by the Indiana Arts Commission and approval from the Fishers Art and Culture Commission, the City of Fishers worked with local artist Rachel Kavanthe to adapt the concept into a large-scale, graphic print on the side of the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater Pavilion.
