This week's Feature Friday is Inside Out: Accessible Art! Tucked into downtown Bloomington at 200 W. Monroe, this beloved nonprofit art cooperative is on a mission to make art available to everyone through gallery exhibitions, art education, and community service. Inside Out is home to a talented roster of local artists working in everything from watercolors and oils to photography, jewelry, stained glass, mosaic, and mixed media assemblage. Whether you are stopping in to browse original works, shop for something one of a kind, or sign up for a class as a total beginner, there is a place for you here.
The gallery is open Wednesday through Friday 10 am to 6 pm, Saturdays 10 am to 2 pm, and stays open late on the first Friday of each month until 8 pm. If you have been looking for a way to connect with local art and artists, Inside Out is exactly the kind of place that reminds you why community matters.
