The Bloomington Playwrights Project’s Arts Fair on the Square is celebrating 33 years of bringing visual artists and craftspeople together with the local and regional buying community. This juried art show features over 60 regional and national artists and craftspeople on the picturesque grounds surrounding the Monroe County Courthouse. The mission of Arts Fair on the Square is to showcase fine art and craft of the highest quality, connect artists with the art-buying community and promote commitment to the arts through a variety of interactive arts experiences. Arts Fair on the Square also includes interactive arts activities for children and entertainment from local artists for the whole family.
Arts Fair on the Square runs in conjunction with the Taste of Bloomington which offers sampling opportunities from over 35 local and regional restaurants, special music and children’s activities. Together Arts Fair on the Square and Taste of Bloomington draw thousands of visitors to downtown Bloomington to experience the finest the visual arts has to offer while sharing a little of that Hoosier hospitality that makes Arts Fair on the Square a favorite among artists and art patrons alike.
