Stone Belt 50th Anniversary Retrospective is October Exhibit in City
Hall Atrium


Bloomington, IN - During the month of October, the City of Bloomington
Entertainment and Arts District (BEAD) will present a retrospective
exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stone Belt Arc, a
Bloomington nonprofit organization that provides education and support
to persons with disabilities.

The exhibit will include two-dimensional posters and informational
panels reflecting on the work of the organization over its lifetime.
Visitors can see Stone Belt's development over the decades and learn
more about the organization's history and impact on the Bloomington
community.

Stone Belt Retrospective will be on exhibit beginning Monday, Oct. 2,
and will run to the end of the month. The exhibit can be viewed from
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays
in the Atrium of City Hall, 401 North Morton Street.

Stone Belt was founded in 1959 by nine families dedicated to building
opportunities for their children. In the last half-century, the services
offered by the organization have expanded to include residential
programs, employment resources, life skills and vocational training, a
professional art studio, and clinical services, all of which enable
individuals with disabilities to live self-determined lives.


The City of Bloomington is committed to providing opportunities for
Bloomington and area artists to exhibit artwork in Atrium. For more
information, contact Miah Michaelsen, the City's Assistant Economic
Development Director for the Arts, at michaelm@bloomington.in.gov or
812-349-3534.
