Every one of us!
We need your public health voice!

Most importantly, use YOUR public health voice to help select the focus areas for the next community health improvement plan!
The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce will host a candidate forum to welcome all 2019 city council candidates interested in leading our community. Join us as we offer them an opportunity to discuss their platforms and participate in a moderated Q&A session.

Through a unique and riveting mix of theatre, circus, dance, music, and acrobatics will tell the stories of the generation who forged the world we live in today.

Are these stories written in our DNA? How will the past guide our evolution in the future.
With Reversible, be prepared for the best in contemporary circus—moments of pure grace yielding to rushes of adrenaline—as a cast of multi-talented performers travel through time and space. Be part of a vibrant journey that will give you goose bumps: peek through the key hole at a Reversible world, where everyday life is turned upside down into new spectacular universes filled with beauty, emotion, and hope.

Bringing all your country classics & rock’n’roll favorites performed by our rag tag Honky Tonk Tuesday house band.
Featuring a revolving cast of Bloomington music greats.
We’re Kero Kero Bonito, a band from London, England. We met on an internet forum in 2013; singer Sarah was born in Nagoya to a Japanese mother and British father, before moving to Kenilworth, UK at the age of 13, while producers Gus and Jamie have been friends since school.
We shared our pop universe on Intro Bonito (mixtape, 2014), Bonito Generation (album, 2016) and singles like “Flamingo” and “Trampoline”. In 2017 we returned to the suburbs that made us and started rehearsing with guitar, bass and drums.
We introduced our new style with TOTEP in February 2018, and our second album Time ‘n’ Place is coming soon. Signposted by the songs “Only Acting” (pop-punk noise) and “Time Today” (chipper Casiotone melancholy), Time ‘n’ Place is our response to indie-rock history.
The Time ‘n’ Place tour is our first using a 5-piece live band. Playing selections from across our discography arranged for guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals, it will be our most raucous yet.

Oliver Klink | Cultures In Transition
Pictura Gallery is exhibiting Cultures in Transition, a series of documentary stories photographed with awareness and artistry by Oliver Klink. The show focuses on three different communities who balance the growing tension between the cultural diversity of the past and the homogenized present, looking into the lives of those who wish to preserve tradition. Photographs span the remote regions in the Sichuan Mountains, to the eagle hunters in the Altai Mountains in Mongolia.
ARTIST TALK:
Friday, April 5, 7pm
OPENING RECEPTION:
April 5 – June 1
By Hand will be presenting a new show for the upcoming Gallery Walk on Friday, April 5th.
Title: “Allegories of Our World”
Artist: Bekki Canine
Description: Bekki Canine has been entranced by the rich atmospheres and colors of traditional oil paintings since first walking through the galleries of the Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago as a teenager. She has also long been drawn to objects with an intrinsic story and history: fabric from discarded clothing, old maps and book pages, forgotten photographs. In her work she combines these two interests by incorporating collaged elements into oil paintings. Through these paintings Bekki encourages thoughtful reflection about humans’ interaction with each other and the environment.
Opening Reception: Friday, April 5th, 5-8 PM
On Display: April 5th – May 25th
This show will feature Angela Caldwell, Jenny Stopher and Heather Nuber. As well as a number of small works available by the artists in the pop-up gallery space.

HARNESS
- Not rated, 2016, 2K DCP, Action/Adventure, Drama, Directed by Lav Diaz
Shot in black-and-white and set during the Philippine Revolution of 1896 against Spain, the ballad of Jocelynang Baliwag becomes the hymn of the insurgents. While searching for the body of Andres Bonifacio, Father of the Revolution, we embark on an epic journey through history, literature, and mythology. Lav Diaz is a master of interconnected narratives filled with abstractions. “It is perilous to argue about historical details. It is more perilous to correct any distortions made on historical events. But, it is most perilous of all to turn your back on the truth behind these events” (Diaz). In English, Tagalog, Spanish, Mandarin, and Filipino with English subtitles.

Presented by Cardinal Stage:
A classic comes to Cardinal Stage with this touching family drama from one of America’s most celebrated playwrights. Amanda Wingfield dreams of a better life for herself and her two grown children, but with her shy daughter Laura struggling and her restless son Tom scheming to leave town, reality threatens to shatter her illusions and their family.
Presented by the IU Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance.
Two farm women are named as witches by a man they have spurned. Written by acclaimed Obie Award-winning playwright Caryl Churchill, this provocative play examines non-conformity, and gender power struggles through this 17th Century lens. Against the backdrop of the witchcraft trials in England, Vinegar Tom draws parallels between witch hysteria and the fear of female sexuality, showing it to be the lethal source of many of society’s problems, both past and present.
