The Artistic Side of Sports
We watch sports on TV or from the stands, but nothing captures its essence quite like artworks. Art captures emotion: the anxiety of competition, the desire to win, the struggle to maintain resolve in the face of overwhelming odds, pain and fatigue.
For more than 50 years, the National Art Museum of Sport in downtown Indianapolis has collected more than 800 pieces showcasing the heroes and heroines of basketball, boxing, golf, baseball, tennis – more than 40 sports in all. Through permanent and special exhibits, the collection evokes the excitement and variety of the sporting life.
