Vintage Rock n’ Roll with dashes of funk and soul.

On Friday, May 11th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The Venue will host an Exhibition of Paintings by two very distinctively different artists, Sven Forkjaer-Jensen of Denmark and Dan Alexander of Bloomington, USA, and for this reception featuring Sven.
Sven, who lives and works in Denmark, is a well known, mature artist who has shown his paintings throughout Europe, and also in New York, California and Florida galleries, in more than 100 exhibitions. He has received many awards and prizes, and his work is found in numerous prestigious private and public collections. Sven has over 40 year experience as an historian and artist. The Venue is pleased to host his first mid-America showing.
This exhibition is of paintings of visual memories that Sven has reconstructed, of outdoor situations from his childhood and young adulthood, ie. memory landscapes. Sven demonstrates the techniques of mixing oil and acrylic, and oil and charcoal, at their highest skill level, producing a calming, serene effect. These are paintings of a quality rarely seen in Bloomington.
At The Venue we prove that you do not have to travel to New York or California, or for that matter Denmark, to become the owner of great art.
Join us.
P.S. Don’t forget that Sunday is Mother’s Day, and we have at The Venue, for your Mother, some of the finest jewelry to be found, anywhere.

We have so many fears these days: fears for ourselves, our family and friends, and for our world. Sometimes these fears are manifest and sometimes they are beneath the surface, giving rise to anxiety and insecurity.

In this inspiring lecture, Kelsang Namdrol will explore mindfulness methods, meditations, and ways of thinking derived from Buddha’s teachings that will help you let go of fear and gradually develop an inner stability and confidence to face life’s challenges. Join us and begin your journey towards mental freedom.
Everyone is welcome. No experience is necessary.

Cost: $10
Student rate: $5

Live theater for young children ages 4-8. An enchanting production with all your favorite Winnie the Pooh characters in two acts. From the stories of A.A. Milne.

Thirteen-year-old Jane has always had trouble making choices. Looking for an escape, she seeks refuge in the classic ’80s video game, “The Oregon Trail,” where the choices are clear, the results are sure, and there’s always another life to live (after everyone dies of dysentery). But as time blurs, the boundaries between game and reality become hazy. Eventually, Jane finds herself leaping headfirst into the world of The Oregon Trail, where she’s forced to confront the choices she’s made, connect with her family, keep her oxen safe, and ford the river of life.
