The Runners (Urban Wall)

The Runners is an outdoor mural by architect James McQuiston located at 7 East Washington Street in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The mural occupies the east wall of a five-story commercial building. The mural was the result of a 1975 contest sponsored by the Urban Walls Task force of the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee and the Indianapolis Department of Parks and Recreation.

Description

The mural, which was created using acrylic paint, depicts children at play on a hill as seen through a series of white arched doorways or windows. A fire in 1975 destroyed a building that used to be adjacent to the mural site; according to the label near the bottom of the mural, "The three-tiered design of the mural was inspired by the architectural structure of the building that burned, and is a whimsical study of color and motion."

The mural occupies approximately 16,000 square feet of vertical wall space on the eastern side of what was then the Merchants National Bank Annex. The project took about one month to complete and was dedicated on 20 November 1975 in a ceremony led by Mayor Richard G. Lugar and Otto N. Frenzel III, the chairman of the board of Merchants National Bank. Painting of the mural was accomplished by Naegele Outdoor Advertising under the supervision of the artist.
