Compendium is based in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, overlooking Monument Circle. We love this city. Our CEO Chris Baggott often talks about how he was here for some time, then lived in Chicago and New York... but found his way back to Indianapolis, and he's here to stay. This is his home, and Compendium's home.
As a Software-as-a-Service company, we can service clients all over the world, but it's always great to build strong relationships with our own neighbors. We have several clients here in town that use our blogging software, but I want to highlight one of our newest partners, the Indianapolis Conventions & Visitors Association (ICVA). They are a great group of people, and their blog covers all kinds of things to do around town.
I went to lunch with Karissa and Jeff from the ICVA, and we started to talk about the Public Art Project... particularly "Dancing Ann", who was removed from her brick base on Aug. 20th, apparently to fix one of the LED screens.
Jeff and I debated a little, realizing that Dancing Ann was not the same as Sara Dancing, formerly located at Illinois and Maryland. Both were designed by Julian Opie, a British artist contracted by the Arts Council of Indianapolis. Jeff and Sara had a close relationship, as did Ann and I (I live in the area where she was permanently placed).
So, Dancing Ann, if you are listening... please come back. When I walk to and from work each day, there's a piece of me that feels empty inside without your unique style of dance. Now all that is left is this brick foundation. Luckily there are other great art projects, events and things to do from the ICVA blog that I can take my mind off this tragic loss....
