Before the arrival of the Spanish in 1532, Peru had seen the rise and fall of numerous cultures and artistic styles, not just those of the Inca Empire, for which it is so well known. Because these civilizations lacked written records, we gain our understanding of their histories and societies through their art and archaeology. Focusing primarily on ceramics from cultures before the time of the Inca, this installation encourages visitors to explore less familiar arts and traditions.

#tikituesday returns!! Join us the first Tuesday in March and every Tuesday after that till fall for the best tiki cocktails Bloomington has to offer.

Tuesdays at the distillery, we’re showcasing our spirits in a handful of creative, unique Tiki cocktails. You’ve probably never tasted anything like them. Our #tikituesday bartenders Chris and Baylee have elevated our gin, whiskey, vodka, and of course Tiki Rum to a completely different field.

On March 7th, the first Tuesday, as is our custom The Venue will present Bloomington Unplugged, the best in local acoustical music, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Kacie Swierk is a 22-year old musician, singer and songwriter of Irish lineage. Mixed between folk, roots, and blues, Swierk’s songs strive for authenticity in both lyricism and composition. A great new talent to discover in Bloomington.
Refreshments will be served and The Venue’s fine selection of paintings, jewelry, ceramics, and artistic gifts will also be on display for purchase.
