"Sara Dancing" was part of the public art exhibition "Julian Opie: Signs" last year in Downtown Indianapolis. This one stood near Circle Centre. A similar piece, "Ann Dancing," was installed Jan. 18 at the intersection of Mass Ave. and Alabama and Vermont streets. The permanent piece will be part of the Cultural Trail.

For those of us that miss the animated public art pieces that used to grace Downtown during the months that Julian Opie's artwork was in Indy, looks like we're getting a piece that's coming to stay.

I was driving down Mass Ave this morning and saw them lowering a big rectangular block that reminded me of those bright portrayals of a guy walking and a gal swaying side to side. Turns out I was right. "Ann Dancing" is being installed this morning at the intersection of Mass Ave., Alabama and Vermont streets, near Old Point Tavern on the Cultural Trail. And it won't just be there for a limited time. This one is here to stay.
