In this exhibit, Bloomington based photographer, Kyle Spears showcases his most recent body of work from Prague, Czech Republic. Kyle says this about his photography;

Primarily, most of my inspiration comes from traveling and discovering new places/things to shoot. No matter where or what I photograph, I want to capture the beauty I see and somehow communicate that with the viewer. As a photographer, I am attracted to the absence of light, just as much as the presence of light. I love how the night can change the atmosphere and mood of a scene that wasn’t evident during daylight.

A show and sale of local indigo-dyed T-shirts from the studio of Rowland Ricketts to support the expansion of indigo production in Bloomington. A limited edition of 150 shirts will be available in person and online. I Fell resident artists will also be in their studios. Many amazing works of art at all price points will be available for purchase. Visit the I Fell Building for exciting, local, downtown art at this historic site on the west side of downtown Bloomington.

Show recurring daily from 6 to 9 pm, through May 17.

Student chamber ensembles studying with the Pacifica Quartet—the quartet-in-residence at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music—will continue their series of free, off-campus chamber music concerts in Bloomington. The first concert of the spring 2014 semester takes place on Monday, March 10 at 7 p.m. at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center.

Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center has invited the series to continue in their intimate Miller Gallery. Called “Chamber Music Mondays,” this series has been created to explore the chamber music repertoire among the gallery’s visual arts exhibits. Initiated one year ago by the Pacifica Quartet to offer more performance opportunities for the student chamber ensembles they coach, select ensembles will perform in a variety of unique venues outside of the Jacobs School walls including the Wylie House Museum, Rachael’s Café (Classical Revolution), Meadowood Retirement Community, and the Miller Gallery of the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center. See the full schedule of free concerts below.

“Many of the superlatives describing Angel Olsen refer to how seemingly little it takes for her to leave an audience speechless, even spellbound. But Olsen has never been as timid as those descriptors imply, and the noisy, fiery hints in her earlier work find a fuller expression on her newest LP, Burn Your Fire for No Witness. Here, Olsen sings with full-throated exultation, admonition, and bold, expressive melody. Also, with the help of producer John Congleton, her music now crackles with a churning, rumbling low end and a brighter energy.”
