Visual Artists will be showing works throughout the Downtown Area in several businesses, studios and galleries. This year, musical artists have been added to the mix, performing as buskers in different areas of downtown and on the main stage at Withers Park. This event is co sponsored by the the Downtown Bloomington Association and Connect Transit, who will be offering free tokens and maps to facilitate movement in and around the Downtown area. A detailed schedule of events will be available at each venue and at the DBA Farmers’ Market, which opens it outdoor season on Saturday May 7.
