Welcome to “Vibrant Windows” a watercolor exhibit by Don Madvig of Bloomington, Indiana. Mr. Madvig graduated from the University of Illinois with a BFA in painting in 1991, concentrating primarily on acrylic and watercolor painting. His original and commission paintings are held in private collections throughout the United States and Canada. “The genesis of these paintings is the long-promised re-visiting of a significant moment in my undergraduate experience. It was in my student apartment, and my attraction to it centered around the bright, natural light and vivid plant color.”

Just as Middle Way House wraps survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking in warmth and support, teams and individual fabric artists lovingly create tree sweaters for dozens of downtown Bloomington trees. Each beautiful tree sweater is sponsored by a business, person, or organization committed to helping us provide meaningful alternatives to living with violence. Sweaters help publicize our 24/7 Help & Crisis Line: 812.336.0846. Middle Way House staff and supporters (including local fabric artists, tree sponsors, and special guests), invite you to gather on October 4th at 6 PM on the the southeast corner of the courthouse lawn to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to celebrate the opening of Wrapped in Love.

The photographic art of Australian-based artist R J Poole is based on the feminine aspect of the male psyche – the anima. Examples from Poole’s signature body of work the ‘Anima Series’ will be on display for the first time on American soil at the I Fell Gallery Bloomington Indiana throughout October.

Our pop-up gallery will feature Long Lived The King, a photography exhibition by Ben Robinson.
