On September 18, 2008 the Indianapolis Museum of Art broke ground on 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park. Located on 100 acres of untamed woodlands, wetlands, a lake, and meadows adjacent to the Museum, the Art & Nature Park will be one of the largest museum art parks in the country and the only one to feature the ongoing commission of site-specific artworks. It will open in spring of 2010 with a visitor center, numerous trails, and eight site-specific inaugural works commissioned from emerging and midcareer artists.  This groundbreaking ceremony features remarks from a variety of IMA staff and from the artist duo, Type A. Beyond the traditional groundbreaking ceremony, Type A led a participatory activity with staff and guests inspired by their commission for 100 Acres.
