The Bloomfield Friday Farmer’s Market will feature “Small Business Night” and “Vintage Pop-Up Night” on Friday, September 9 from 4-7 pm. For a $5 fee, small businesses and vintage/collectable sellers are invited to set up a tent/table and advertise their business or sell their wares! The purpose of Small Business Night is to inform the public about the goods and services provided by small businesses in our own community, and to encourage residents to “buy local”. The Bloomfield market is held each Friday and is located on the corner of Spring and Franklin streets. Small Business displays will be set up in the grassy lot across Franklin Street from Bloomfield Manufacturing. Businesses can pay their fee to the market manager that evening. If there are questions, please contact the committee via our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Bloomfield.community.farmers.market/

For Gallery Walk, Ekphrasis at The Venue
On Friday, August 5th, for Gallery Walk beginning at 5:00p.m., The Venue will feature paintings selected for this year’s Venue Ekphrasis.
We at The Venue have invited ten of Bloomington’s finest Artists and ten of our most accomplished Poets to participate in an Ekphrasis. Each artist has submitted a painting, and each poet has selected one of the paintings, that inspires them to write a poem. The paintings will be our visual show for the month of August.
On Saturday, August 20th, at 6:00p.m., and again on August 27th at 6:00p.m. at The Venue, five of the artists will explain the inspiration for their painting, and five of the Poets will read the poems that those paintings inspired. The interaction will elucidate and amplify their creative process.
Our gourmet soup and other special refreshments will be served. Join us.
The IU Fine Arts Theaters are at 1200 East 7th Street, on the north side of Showalter Fountain, next to the IU Auditorium. If you are standing in the middle of the fountain, facing the IU Auditorium, the Fine Arts Building is on your left.
The viewing experience at Fine Arts is similar to that of a traditional theater – reasonably comfortable theater seats on a sloped floor. There are two screening rooms – the downstairs theater seats 250, the smaller, more intimate upstairs theater seats 99. This semester, unless otherwise indicated, we are screening in the upstairs theater.
To reach the screening rooms enter the IU Fine Arts building through the second floor doors off of the circular drive. Look to your left and you’ll see the upstairs Fine Arts theater.
To reach the downstairs theater go to the end of the hall and walk down the stairs. You’ll find the downstairs theater on your right.
The Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market holds the annual Heirloom Tomato Tasting Aug. 6 from 9 until 11:30 a.m. at Showers Plaza, 401 N. Morton St. Tomato tasting is free while supplies last.
Local farmers provide a variety of colorful heirloom varieties for tasting, including Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Black from Tula, Pineapple, German Johnson, Green Zebra, Mortgage Lifter, Blue Beauty and more. Most of the tomato varieties will be available for sale at the Market as well.
According to Farmers’ Market coordinator Marcia Veldman, heirloom tomatoes are varieties that were once widely cultivated but fell out of favor with producers because they neither shipped nor stored well, but were cherished by gardeners for their superb colors, textures, and flavors. Heirloom tomatoes are open pollinated and are grown from seed saved from earlier crops. Some maintain that to really qualify as an “heirloom,” seed must be passed from generation to generation like a precious family quilt.
Free parking is available at the Farmers’ Market north of City Hall in IU ‘C’ Permit spaces (in the lot located on the east side of Morton Street, at the corner of Ninth and Morton) and in City Hall Red Permit spaces. Metered parking is available on the streets surrounding the Farmers’ Market for $1 an hour, or in the parking garage at Seventh and Morton Streets for 50 cents per hour. Parking regulations are enforced on Saturdays.
For more information about the Heirloom Tomato Tasting, and to see a complete listing of varieties available for tasting, visit bloomington.in.gov/farmersmarket. To volunteer to help with the Tomato Tasting by slicing tomatos and dishing out samples, sign up at bloomington.in.gov/parksvol.

In response to the Orlando Pulse shootings and the resulting police worship and homonationalism, we conceived of this ongoing film series that would detail the long history of queer self-defense, autonomy, militancy, and open revolt. The second installment will be Monday August 8th at 9:30pm and will be a double feature of United in Anger and one other film, to be announced. Future installments will include Happy Birthday, Marsha! (2016) and Check It (2016) and more. There will be posters and zines also for donation, all of which will go towards supporting rebellious queer and trans prisoners.
