Happy Juneteenth!

Artist, Adrian Lowe (pictured with Hawona Sullivan Janzen, Lead Engagement Specialist - Forecast Public Art), led the first engagement effort for the Creative Placemaking Citywide Plan at the Juneteenth celebration at Civic Plaza on June 15, 2024. The event was a great success with hundreds of people in attendance. Adrian designed an illustration of a newsboy bee, calling on people to tell us how they "Bloom in Bloomington" by taking the Creative Placemaking Plan Survey. This is the first of an anticipated 20 community engagement activities the Artist Engagement Team will be at. A schedule of events will be posted soon.
