Lotus Education & Arts Foundation Lotus brings the world to South Central Indiana with year-round global music and art programming. Get involved!

The 29th annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival is September 22 - 25, 2022. The Lotus Education & Arts Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Bloomington, Indiana (est. 1994). Our mission is to create opportunities to experience, celebrate, and explore the diversity of the world’s cultures, through music and the arts. Lotus fulfills this mission through three major areas – our flagship music festival, arts-education outreach, and visual arts. At its heart, Lotus is about making the world a better place by inviting dialogue, by building bridges through curiosity and discovery and conversation, and most of all by inspiring human connections that transcend geography, religion, language, and ethnicity. Since its inception, Lotus has brought the wider world to the doorstep of hundreds of thousands of young people and adults throughout southern Indiana. Visit lotusfest.org for information on upcoming events, or learn how you can support the Lotus mission with a tax-deductible gift or business sponsorship.

The Monroe County Courthouse like you’ve never seen it before!

Moving rainbow lights, colorful instruments, blooming lotus flowers, and flowing fabric transformed the building into a vibrant canvas of light and motion.

We loved watching this projection mapping installation come to life in the heart of downtown Bloomington. Which moment is your favorite? 🌈🎶🪷
