October Exhibit at City Hall to Feature Paintings by Dawn Adams

BLOOMINGTON, IN - During the month of October, the City of Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District (BEAD) will showcase paintings by local artist Dawn Adams in the Atrium of City Hall.

The paintings featured in this exhibit depict intimate views of streambeds, marshes, quarries, and reflections in water. The exhibit showcases Adams's ability to use color, texture, and composition to evoke the calming stillness found in nature. The artist says that she enjoys painting these scenes because "the look and sound of water is healing". Adams creates her work with the hope that each painting will leave the viewer with "a sense of rejuvenation and a centering calm".

The public is invited to an opening reception for the exhibit. The reception will be held on Friday, October 7 from 5:00 to 8:00pm in the Atrium of City Hall.

The exhibit will be on display October 5-31. Exhibition hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, as well as additional evening and weekend hours when City Hall is open for meetings.

The City of Bloomington is committed to providing opportunities for area artists to exhibit artwork in the City Hall Atrium.
