The colorful display turns our Shopping Village into a must-see photo op for residents and visitors alike. Not only is it a lovely sight in our downtown district, but it also offers much-appreciated shade for our Farmers’ Market and provides an attractive venue for downtown events.
The Umbrella Sky has been promoted throughout the region including Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
The Batesville Area Arts Council (BAAC) is behind the Batesville Sky projects, which also Include the recent Color Rain installation last spring and the beautiful Winter Wonder this past winter. The projects are possible thanks to funding by grants and donations from local businesses and community members.
The project even caught the attention of the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2021/01/30/umbrella-art-street-paris-portugal/
