The influence and varieties of religious life in Indianapolis and in the nation can be found not only in the people and institutions but also in the art and architecture of a community.  This segment will examine the many sacred spaces of a city: land, buildings, monuments and public art.  While we’ll note the sacred art and space of local congregations, we’ll more closely examine religious influence on publicly accessible art and architecture.  How are these spaces and places being preserved?  Where are they disappearing?  We’ll examine the stories that these places tell and the contemporary examples of religious art and architecture.
