COMING UP NEXT: Preview show through September at Arts Alliance Center Gallery in College Mall, Bloomington, IN. Opening September 1st
The Bloomington Open Studios Tour is a collective of professional artists who hold exhibitions together in August and September, and open their studios to the general public for an exciting weekend in mid-October.
Bloomington Open Studios Tour Artists Present! displays a selection of new work from each of the artists in the BOST (Bloomington Open Studios Tour) collective. The exhibit is a sneak peek at some of what will be on display in each of the artists’ studios for the tour. The 15 artists in the BOST collective are each established professional artists who have been deeply involved with developing and supporting a vibrant arts community on Bloomington for years.
The work on display include a variety of techniques, media, and subject matter. Approaches range from folk traditions to story telling to the functional to abstract expressions.
