INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis Arts Council have announced five artists local to central Indiana have been selected to create the 2024 "Welcome Race Fans" artworks.

The artworks are a "culmination of the Hoosier hospitality that welcomes visitors to the city throughout the Month of May."

The following five artists were selected out of a pool of 38: Anna Afshar, Lindsey Lord, Miracle Hall, Jaylei Marie Osting and Carlos Sosa Pagán.

“The city of Indianapolis and the people who call Indy home are one of the many reasons the Month of May is so special,” IMS President Doug Boles said. “As thousands flock to IMS from across the globe, the Welcome Race Fans art is one of the first things they see, letting them know they’re home, too.”

Each of the selected artists will create a piece of original artwork to be placed throughout the city.
