Looks like Tom Brady won't be the only pretty thing to look at in Indianapolis this weekend. In anticipation of hosting Super Bowl XLVI, this "cold-weather, landlocked, midsize burg surrounded by corn" (description courtesy CNN) has commissioned 46 murals by local and national artists in various neighborhoods around Marion County, Indiana that will be on display just in time for the Giants to take on the Patriots on Sunday. According to mayor Greg Ballard, the "46 for XLVI" initiative is meant to "elevate the arts and culture of the city in preparation for Super Bowl XLVI." It is a true democratic initiative — according to a press release, almost 50 percent of those who applied to paint a mural for the city were accepted.
So, how's the art, you ask? Is it a touchdown or a... fumble (that's the right terminology, right)? We let you judge for yourself.
