Paint Bloomington 2026
Bryan Park, Bloomington, IN 1001 S. Henderson Street, Bloomington, IN, United StatesWe’re excited to return to Paint Bloomington with sustainable art activities and more cyanotypes. This beloved community plein‑air event includes painting sessions, judging, and hands‑on classes in watercolors, acrylics, pastels, alcohol inks, and printmaking.
We inspire people to action by increasing awareness, activism, and communication about climate change through workshops, performances, events, and online art.
Studies show that artistic expression can change behavior more than words. We, as artists, know that art affects people at a visceral level. Using art, we can transform climate paralysis into positive action. In short, we can harness this powerful way of communication to save the earth.

Our Story
In late 2021 and early 2022, a dozen or so artists in the Midwest gathered together to discuss scientists’ projections of impending devastation of the earth, its inhabitants, and its resources. We decided to do what we know best: inspire others through art and conversation.
With that idea, we are planning art workshops, shows, and media experiences to express our collective experience of climate change. We work in partnership with value-aligned organizations and artists in the U.S.
Our offering is not just art, though; everyone who participates in our events receives a Climate Action Toolkit consisting of ways to help, expressed in actions that people feel comfortable doing.
