Artist Engagement Activity at Bloomington Street Art Festival

The Creative Placemaking Artist Engagement Team has been tasked with creating unique experiences and activities as ways to solicit public input for the Bloomington Creative Placemaking Plan. Katie Ross will be hosting an engagement activity during the Bloomington Street Arts Festival the weekend of July 26th.

The activity, "Intentional, Mindful Weaving," invites participants to reflect on the question, "What is it about you that makes you Bloom, and how can you create the best environment for that?" Using simple materials, participants will craft a woven piece of art that embodies their personal reflections and intentions.

This activity empowers individuals to reflect on their unique qualities and the contributions they bring to the Bloomington community, whether as residents or visitors. By creating a visual representation of their reflections through mindful weaving, participants can encapsulate their energy and spirit in a tangible piece of art. This practice not only fosters self-awareness and mindfulness but also enhances the sense of community by showcasing the diverse expressions and intentions of festival-goers.
