PWYC Tip Jar
Art is for everyone, and we believe it shouldn't come with barriers. Bloomington Art Club is a free club, without membership dues. To keep it that way, we've introduced a tip jar. Proceeds will be used to buy art supplies, pay artists to teach us things, and book meeting spaces. Probably snacks, too.
Contribute to CART
CART is a collection of art from a community of artists in a quarterly zine.
