Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and fund our mission.
Jeff was driven by a passion to bring together Hoosiers through the shared love of fishing, conservation, and the arts, the Flybrary Project is a truly unique initiative. Inspired and guided by the great folks at Tailer Trash Fishing and their creation of the original Flybrary Project, our mission is to create public art pieces in accessible locations, inviting the community to "Take-A-Fly and Leave-A-Fly," much like a communal pantry.
We are currently working on gaining approval from parks departments in Hamilton and Marion Counties, as well as the city of Zionsville. The Flybrary Project has already garnered support from numerous local conservation, arts, and other organizations, all contributing to making this vision a reality.
Our goal is to install Flybraries in public parks, constructed by local woodworkers, adorned by local artists and the community, and stocked by local fly makers and fishing guides. These communal hubs will feature the logos and information of all contributing groups, raising awareness of local efforts and resources.
Upon completion, each Flybrary location will be listed on the national registry. Known to attract travelers who go upwards of 30 minutes out of their way to visit and capture photos for social media, these installations can significantly boost local business.
By making each Flybrary a permanent art installation, we aim to encourage people to explore the parks and highlight the incredible efforts of the individuals and organizations making a positive impact in our area.
We are actively collaborating with Noblesville and Zionsville to bring the Flybrary Project to life. Our next targets include Indianapolis, Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers. If you have a location you'd like to see included, please reach out and leave a message.
The first prototype box is currently under construction and will be painted by local artist Liz Hamstra. Once the box is complete our first published article will be going out with Fly Life Media!
We're also in the process of securing donations, funding, and volunteer support. Collections and fundraisers will kick off in January, featuring in-person events where you can help decorate the Flybrary boxes before they find their permanent homes.
The intention of raising awareness and securing funding for these Flybrary boxes will be highlighted through a silent auction, donations, and fundraiser events. Locations will be announced in early 2025 once all our partners are confirmed.
Below, you'll find a list of organizations and small businesses that are making this project a reality and helping to unite our community. Please explore each of these incredible partners to discover how you can contribute, volunteer, or find your next purchase.
