BHM is a juried show, meaning that participating artists are selected from a pool of applicants and notified a few months in advance of the show. In selecting artists, we look for artists and crafters that are creating quality, unusual work of a type that we don’t often see in more traditional craft fairs. Artists come from both Bloomington and around the midwest to participate.

We are proud to present the annual Potpourri of the Arts. With a wide range of music and choreography, these unique ensembles are sure to exhilarate audiences with their individual and combined performances. The African American Dance Company will present a broad range of movement and dance traditions from America and the African Diaspora, including African, contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, and other cultural forms. Then, hear the best of African American spirituals, folk songs, and gospel with the African American Choral Ensemble. To complete the line-up, IU Soul Revue will perform post WWII Black popular music—including rhythm and blues, soul, funk, and contemporary music styles. To top off the evening, all three ensembles will grace the stage together in a collaborative finale piece. Don’t miss this incredible and celebratory event.
