Bloomington Arts Commission
Established in 1980, the Bloomington Arts Commission provides a means for the City of Bloomington to stimulate and encourage community appreciation for and participation in the arts.
The City of Bloomington recognizes that the arts are an important part of the culture and economy of the community, and that the City has a responsibility to foster an environment conducive to the community's participation in the arts. The conservation and development of the city's artistic resources are essential to the social, educational, and economic growth of the city. Artists, works of art, and artistic institutions contribute to the quality of life and the general welfare of the citizens of Bloomington.
The Bloomington Arts Commission awards grants semi-annually for arts programming and commissions public art through the City's Percentage for the Arts program. Use the links on this page to find out more information about the BAC and its programming: Learn more about the commission here
