SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WISH) Nearly as fast as cars race around the track, art is flying off the shelves in Speedway. Business is booming thanks to race fans, and the added foot traffic is even helping local artists.
The Speedway Arts Council set up a pop-up shop for local artists to showcase their work. President Katie Maiers said the shop has been the council’s most successful event in history.
“This has been really big for our local artists; it’s really moved the dial for them because their art is selling. We keep having to have the artists come back with more inventory,” said Maiers.
