When the Edge Building’s parking garage was finished, the city began setting aside the east side of the structure for works of art.  A new artist’s work will be featured at that location for the next 12-18 months.  Seasons Nouveau is now on display in the heart of the downtown Fishers Nickel Plate District.

“I’m excited to see the progress that we’ve made in arts and culture in our community,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “We still have a long way to go, but actions like this reaffirm our commitment to making Fishers a dynamic and vibrant place to live.”

Indianapolis-based artist Tasha Beckwith, a graduate of Herron School of Art and Design, was inspired by the Art Nouveau movement, the work of Czech painter Alphonese Mucha, and Fishers Arts & Culture Master Plan when creating this one-of-a-kind series for the city.

“When proposing this specific design for Fishers, I looked at the master plan for Arts & Culture and I noticed that they had core values, specifically the core value of inclusiveness,” said Seasons Nouveau artist Tasha Beckwith. “I decided that it would be important to present a design that tackled inclusivity and diversity.”

Seasons Nouveau was funded by Fishers Arts & Culture Commission.

“It is important to the Fishers Arts & Culture Commission and the City of Fishers to be diverse and give the people that live and work here representation,” said David Decker, Chair of the Fishers Arts and Culture Commission.

The city produced a video about the project, which can be viewed at this link.
