Laura Bulla's "Exuberant Musings: Magical Moments in Nature" is May Atrium Exhibit

Bloomington, Ind. - During the month of May, the Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District (BEAD) will showcase Laura Bulla's recent painting series "Exuberant Musings: Magical Moments in Nature" in the Showers Atrium of City Hall, 401 N. Morton St.

Artist Laura Bulla's work offers interesting glimpses of fleeting moments. Varied subjects, both local and tropical, are depicted in vibrant color and lively brushwork. She hopes to engage the viewer in the "glorious instant that inspires the soul." Ms. Bulla has been painting for over forty years and maintains a studio/gallery in Brown County.

The exhibit will be on display May 1 - 31. Exhibition hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as additional evening and weekend hours when City Hall is open for meetings.

This project is another effort under the City's strategy to leverage and expand the economic development potential of the arts in Bloomington. According to the 2012 Americans for the Arts study, Bloomington's nonprofit arts sector contributes $72.3 million to the local economy annually through direct spending by arts organizations and their audiences.
