Artists
After Hours
In response to
requests from artists, the BAAC offers a free supportive
networking group, Artists After Hours, held monthly at the John Waldron
Arts Center. Community artists of all disciplines are invited to
regularly engage in lively discussion. The program is modeled
after the Chamber's successful after hours events, and features invited
speakers to address different topics of interest.
The Big Read--One Book One Bloomington
Every year, Bloomington and beyond votes for the one book that the community should read and discuss together. In its Sixth year, the project is designed to promote reading of great literature and unite the communities served by the BAAC through discussion of a single book. What if Bloomington and the surrounding communities all read one book?
