Indiana Artisan Marketplace Showcase Showcasing locally made art from170 artisans and food at April 16-17 event Showcasing the creations of Indiana’s best artists and artisans, the Indiana Artisan Marketplace debuts at the Expo Hall at the Indiana State Fairgrounds April 16-17, 2011. Approximately 100 artisans from Indiana and an additional 70 artisans from Kentucky will showcase art and food selected as being among the best in Indiana and Kentucky by food and art jury panels created by Indiana Artisan and Kentucky Crafted. Indiana Artisan Marketplace is a chance to buy one-of-a-kind artwork and artisan food directly from the Hoosiers who made it, and to meet the artisans and to share their stories. Visitors will be able to watch artisans create artwork before their eyes, cultivate relationships with their favorite artisans and celebrate Indiana talent and creativity.

called "Kentucky Crafted," which is in its 29th year and attracts approximately 8,000 visitors and 600 wholesale buyers to its annual Market in Louisville,” said Prichard. The marketplace will be open for wholesale buyers only on April 15. Indiana Artisan was established in 2008 to identify and support the business development of Hoosier entrepreneurs who create high-quality arts, crafts and value-added foods [think salsa, not tomatoes … wine, not grapes]. It was launched as a joint venture of the Indiana Office of Tourism Development, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Indiana Arts Commission, and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. The program is transitioning to become a private, not-for-profit organization. The work of more than 150 artisans has been juried into the program and may leverage the Indiana Artisan brand. The work of additional artisans will be selected during a jury panel session in January 2011. Indiana Artisans include painters, beekeepers, woodworkers, winemakers, jewelry designers, weavers, makers of specialty cheeses and more. Program manager Eric Freeman says, “An Indiana Artisan is a Hoosier recognized for careful attention to detail, knowledge of a craft and an entrepreneurial spirit. His or her talent contributes to Indiana’s reputation for quality work.”

In addition to browsing the booths, visitors will enjoy Indiana music, literary readings, live art and craft demonstrations, and food and drink tasting.

“We’ve modeled the Indiana Artisan Marketplace after an extremely successful program

traveliN WINTER 2011 SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA

“Our goal with the marketplace is to connect the producer of the artwork and food with buyers, both wholesale buyers and consumers,” said Tom Prichard, chair of the Indiana Artisan Marketplace. Prichard, a retired executive from Biomet, and his wife, Judy, both Indiana Artisans, make pottery at their studio and gallery in Brown County.

Angela Brown is a world renowned opera singer and she has created an incredible live concert called Opera From a Sistah’s Point of View. From the New York Met, to the Paris Opera, to the world stage in China, Angela Brown’s vocal performances have entertained the world. Born in Indianapolis, and a graduate of IU Jacobs School of Music. Angela recently moved back to Indianapolis after living many years in New York. Through her witty way of telling opera stories in a modern fashion she helps you connect to the essence of opera and as she says “Opera ain’t that deep.”

From the New York Met, to the Paris Opera, to the world stage in China, Angela Brown’s vocal performances have entertained the world. Through her witty way of telling opera stories in a modern fashion she helps you connect to the essence of opera and as she says “Opera ain’t that deep.”

This past October Brown performed her muchanticipated one-woman show, Opera From a Sistah’s Point of View, at Indiana University, Bloomington. The show was filmed to help further Brown’s effort to demystify opera through Opera, which has been the subject of segments on CNN and among other news outlets according to IU’s news release. The concerts are a part of the opera singer’s mission to bring opera to the masses. Throughout the show, the down-to-earth soprano with the voice of an angel uses humor to “break PHOTO I © Roni Ely

Brown said that she chose to have the MAC show recorded in part because of her strong fan base in Bloomington and in part because of the acoustics of the building. “What’s better than the MAC in Bloomington for people to scream and yell?” Brown said. “It is the best place to do a live recording. The MAC is fabulous.” After studying with IU Distinguished Professor Virginia Zeani [also an internationally renowned soprano], Brown won the 1997 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, later to become a star of the opera world after her 2004 Met debut as Aida. She has performed with the Hamburg Opera and Vienna State Opera, as well as with top symphony orchestras and opera companies throughout the U.S. She guest starred on Garrison Keillor’s radio show, “A Prairie Home Companion,” in June 2009. On July 4, Brown sang at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai as a guest of USA Pavilion and the United States Consulate, as part of her “We Are 1: Support a Cause for Unity” project. Throughout the solo recital, images of people from around the world flashed on the screen.

Angela’s Collection

This past fall Angela selected IU’s Archives of African American Music and Culture as the repository for her collected papers and an array of items related to her career.

“The archives’ location at IU and our collection and programming focus on African American music and musicians make us a logical and appropriate site for this incredible collection. The Angela Brown Collection will provide an invaluable resource for scholarly research and course

The Angela Brown Collection will include recordings on cassette, videotape and DVD's, photographs, personal papers such as certificates and awards, posters, programs and brochures, and magazine and newspaper articles about the singer.

young singers who can see Angela’s route,” Jarriel said. “She didn’t take a straight path, and she didn’t start out wanting to be an opera singer. It’s interesting to see how lots of different experiences in her early years influenced her career.”

“The biggest misconception about opera is that it’s only geared toward elitist audiences,” Brown has said. “Anybody could really enjoy an opera if they choose to.” “I am very excited that the dream of having an Angela Brown Collection is coming true through the IU Archives of African American Music and Culture,” Brown said. “It is awe-inspiring to think that young people will be able to learn from my life’s work as it unfolds. Hopefully, they will be inspired by my ‘highs’ and learn from my ‘lows.’ A huge thanks to the Archives of African American Music and Culture for deeming me worthy of being a part of such a prestigious collection. I am grateful and humbled for this to be in my home state of Indiana.” “Angela’s collection is a valuable resource because it allows us to chronicle the full development of the career of an African American opera singer -- particularly one who has maintained her participation in and allegiance to the African American musical tradition,” Maultsby said. “This collection can inspire others who may have been advised to choose between the world of classical music and that of African American vernacular traditions. Angela, through her continued success, shows us that one music tradition does not have to be sacrificed for the other. It is indeed possible to be Angela Brown the gospel singer, Angela Brown the R&B or popular music singer, and Angela Brown the opera singer.” Brown’s general manager, Janet Jarriel of JEJ Artists, said the archiving project will bring cohesiveness and chronology to the singer’s disparate collection of career-related items. “It also will make the collection accessible to other

A digital finding aid is also being created to help locate various aspects of the collection once it’s archived, something that Brenda NelsonStrauss said will also help illuminate any gaps in documentation.” For example, we have very little to document her career prior to 1990,” Nelson-Strauss said. “We know she started performing in the early 80s in some musicals in Indianapolis, but we don’t have materials from that time. We’ll be working with Angela to see what other documentation might exist.”

down barriers” and help audiences better relate to opera narratives in an effort to broaden an understanding and awareness of opera. Woven throughout her commentary are powerful arias, poignant art songs and moving spiritual numbers. “The biggest misconception about opera is that it’s only geared toward elitist audiences,” she has said. “Anybody could really enjoy an opera if they choose to.”

In 2009 Angela was among the recipients of the 2009 Governor’s Arts Awards presented by Gov. Mitch Daniels and the Indiana Arts Commission [IAC].

voice in classes with Ginger Beazley at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama, where she was a Michael Jackson Scholarship recipient and hoped to become a singing evangelist.

Originally conceived in 1973, the biennial awards program honors individuals, organizations, partnerships, businesses and communities that have made significant contributions to the arts in and beyond the confines of Indiana.

In many ways, Brown epitomizes the late Herman C. Hudson’s vision for the AAAI. Hudson, founder of the Office of Afro-American Affairs and the Minority Achievers Program at IU Bloomington, believed the institute should strive for the highest levels of excellence in performance. Throughout its 30-year history, the institute has nurtured and developed the talents of students of diverse backgrounds who come to IU with varying artistic interests and experience. Brown is one of many highly talented members of the institute who have gone on to successful careers in the arts -- some as ensemble members, others as management or artistic assistants who help shape the talents of other student performers.

The Indiana Governor’s Awards have been previously awarded to a number of faculty and alumni of the IU Jacobs School of Music, including pianist Menahem Pressler, saxophonist Jamey Aebersold, choral conductor Henry Leck, violinist Joshua Bell, cellist Janos Starker, jazz educator, composer, and cellist David N. Baker, Dean Emeritus Charles H. Webb, violinist Josef Gingold and Dean Emeritus Dean Bain. “It is a great thrill and honor to receive the Governor’s Arts Award, the highest arts award in my state,” said Brown. “When I think of the other recipients, I am certainly proud to be part of such an illustrious group, many of whom are also directly associated with the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.” Brown’s career began as a young girl in Indianapolis, where she sang gospel music in her grandfather’s Baptist church and in talent and variety shows held at places like the Indianapolis Civic Theatre. She continued to develop her

In 2005, Angela received the inaugural Herman C. Hudson Alumni from the African American Arts Institute at IU.

“Angela has reached the pinnacle,” said Charles E. Sykes, AAAI’s director since 1991. Sykes will present Brown with the award honoring her outstanding achievements as a vocal artist at the institute’s 30th anniversary banquet Monday evening at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.

Despite the fact that African Americans were not even allowed to live on campus at the time Neal and Marshall went to IU, and it was rare for a black man to go to college— let alone a woman—neither let these obstacles stop them from getting an education. And as Marshall told the Indiana Daily Student in 1982, education was her concern, not the unfavor-

able conditions: “I never worried about being a woman going to school,” she said. “I never worried about being black going to school. I just went on with what I had to do.” Neal graduated in 1895 with an A.B. in Mathematics, Marshall in 1919 with an A.B. in English. In January 2002, the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center was dedicated and named in honor of Marcellus Neal and Frances Marshall. The building houses the African American Cultural Center Library, the African American Arts Institute, and the Office of Diversity Education. It serves as an impressive tribute to IU’s first black graduates, whose persistence, bravery, and intelligence set a high standard for future generations of students at Indiana University.

Celebrating Black History Month A month set aside to learn, honor, and celebrate the achievements of black men and women throughout history

The origins of Black History Month can be traced back to a man named Carter G. Woodson [1875-1950]. Woodson, the son of former slaves, was an amazing man in his own right. Since his family was too poor to send him to school as a child, he taught himself the basics of a school education. At age 20, Woodson was finally able to attend high school, which he completed in just two years.

February. The idea caught on quickly and Negro History Week was soon celebrated around the United States. In 1976, the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Negro History Week and the bicentennial of the United States' independence, Black History Week was expanded to Black History Month. Ever since then, Black History Month has been celebrated in February around the country.

Madam Walker

1616

Madam CJ Walker was a largely successful African-American entrepreneur and philanthropist. She overcame the loss of her parents at a young age and several unsuccessful marriages. In 1910, she moved to Indianapolis and built the headquarters for her self-made hair care products business. At the National Negro Business League Convention in July 1912 Walker was quoted saying, “"I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and Madam Walker preparations....I have built my own factory on my own ground."” In her time she was known as the wealthiest African American woman in America and the first self made female millionaire in the US. She gave back to the African American community by giving lectures to other black women to help them build their own businesses. She was also a strong supporter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People [NAACP] in their efforts to support legislation to make lynching a federal crime. She made donations to black schools, organizations, individuals, orphanages, and retirement homes. Today, the Madam CJ Walker building in Indianapolis serves as a thriving cultural and arts center to the city.

Experiencing a Night that Changed History Experience the You Are There 1968: Robert F. Kennedy Speaks exhibit, a recreation of Robert Kennedy's speech for peace regarding the assasination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

traveliN WINTER 2011 SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA

1968 Robert F. Kennedy Indianapolis Speech

On April 4, 1968, a crowd gathered in an Indianapolis park at 17th and Broadway streets to hear Robert F. Kennedy speak during a campaign rally. Most of the people, who were both black and white, had no idea that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated earlier that evening in Memphis.

“Those who were a part of the crowd compared what they saw and heard to a religious experience,” said Ray Boomhower.

Against the advice of many on his team, Kennedy chose to attend the rally and to deliver the devastating news. The impromptu words he spoke called for peace. Visitors to the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center will experience what it was like to be in the stunned crowd that night in You Are There 1968: Robert F. Kennedy Speaks, opening Feb. 22. “Those who were a part of the crowd compared what they saw and heard to a religious experience,” said Ray Boomhower, IHS senior editor and author of Robert F. Kennedy and the 1968 Indiana Primary. “He reached out and touched their hearts with his words calling for compassion and understanding in the

face of violence and bloodshed.“The crowd walked away in pain, but with no thoughts of revenge. While countless cities across the country exploded in violence, Indianapolis remained calm.” Revolutionary 3D hologram technology is a crucial factor in moving visitors to be swept up in that historic moment, and the History Center is the first museum in the country to use it. Produced by Dimensional Studios in London, the Musion Eyeliner system is a high-definition video projection system which allows three-dimensional moving images to appear within a live stage setting—with no props and no 3D glasses. An actor portraying Robert F. Kennedy, and

three actors playing the supporters who surrounded him in an Indianapolis park on that night, recreated the scene and filmed it in Los Angeles. They will “appear” on the back of a flatbed truck in the You Are There experience. Historical interpreters playing real people who were at the campaign rally will be there to interact with visitors. In order to recreate the speech that Robert Kennedy gave in Indianapolis, the IHS exhibits team not only brings to life the stories of that night through the interpreters, films, graphic panels and computer interactives but they also must recreate the physical space in which the speech occurred. Jeff Mills, IHS director of exhibitions design and production, began by developing schematics that combine all the elements required for this You Are There, including a literal recreation of the park itself. To begin, the staff located a truck that could be used to replicate the one Kennedy stood on that night. After an extensive search, an appropriate truck was found, but the hard part remained—the truck had to be cut in half.

In addition to the park scene, the experience has a King/Kennedy Legacy Room featuring an ever-growing visitor-created art piece con-

You Are There 1968: Robert F. Kennedy Speaks is presented by the Joseph F. Miller Foundation and Kroger. The Indiana Experience, of which it is a part, brings both the people of the state and visitors from around the world a uniquely Indiana experience. Interactive and high-technology experiences allow the IHS to share the tremendous archival holdings of the IHS, including 1.6 million photographs, in easy and enjoyable ways. For more information, call 317-232-1882 or visit indianahistory.org.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park, located at 17th Street and College Avenue in Indianapolis, is the site where Robert F. Kennedy spoke to those gathered to hear his campaign speech on April 4, 1968. Instead, though, he had to break the news that King had been assassinated. The park is home to the Peace Memorial (above), which honors the contributions of both slain leaders. King Park was acquired in 1961 by the City of Indianapolis and is spread over 14 acres in Center Township.

“It might sound like an easy thing, to saw a truck in half, but it is hardly that simple,” says Eloise Scroggins, IHS director of exhibitions research. “There are a lot of bells and whistles that will no doubt leave an impression for visitors, but we encourage a closer look at the details.”

ceptualized in partnership with Big Car Gallery. Exhibits in the room put Kennedy’s speech in the context of the social and racial climate, political atmosphere and community setting of April 4, 1968. Clips from the documentary film A Ripple of Hope by Donald Boggs at Covenant Productions are sprinkled throughout the space, which also has an interactive touchscreen computer program about the power of words developed in partnership with the Peace Learning Center and the International Interfaith Initiative.

Genius Meets Madness

IU Opera Theater performing world premiere of Vincent, based on the life of painter Vincent Van Gogh

IU Opera Theater will be performing the world premiere of Vincent, based on the life of painter Vincent Van Gogh. “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Bernard Rands for this project, as well as one of the most sought-after librettists, J. D. McClatchy," said Jacobs School of Music Dean Gwyn Richards.

Jacobs Professor Vincent Liotta will stage direct Vincent and Professor Arthur Fagen will conduct. Guest production designer Barry Steele will team with Assistant Professor of Costume Design Linda Pisano of the IU Department of Theatre and Drama.

Vincent is the first of a number of commissions and projects that celebrate the forming of the original IU music department in 1910 and the establishing of the IU School of Music in 1921.

Set in late 19th-century Europe Vincent Van Gogh, now acknowledged as one of the greatest artists of all time, was a complex and driven man. Painting was how he sought God, and color gave expression to his tumultuous search. This riveting new opera explores the drama of his private vi-

sion and the extremes to which it drove him, culminating in his haunting madness, as well as in his triumph as an artist who gave the world a new image of itself. The Jacobs School of Music will also premiere “New York, New York!” as their spring ballet March 25 & 26, featuring sophisticated staples of the "Big Apple's" ballet scene, conducted by guest Stewart Kershaw.

The African American Arts Institute The Indiana University African American Arts Institute is an exciting and unique performing arts program that focuses on the rich and varied traditions of African American heritage. Their mission is to promote and preserve African American culture through performance, education, creative activity, research, and outreach. They serve their mission through the activities of three ensembles that are also academic courses—African American Choral Ensemble, African American Dance Company, and IU Soul Revue.

The African American Dance Company captures and delivers the spirit of dance styles of the African Diaspora through its energy, rhythm, precision and grace. The company’s repertoire includes original choreography in a fusion of modern, jazz, African and Latin American dance styles. Hailed by the Indiana Daily Student as “the best kept secret in Bloomington,” the African American Dance Company has met with enthusiastic acclaim in its more than 20-year history. The Bloomington Herald-Times added,

Exciting and unique performing arts program focusing on the rich and varied traditions of African American heritage “Dancing, as performed by the talented IU African American Dance Company is an experience that is uplifting and fun, to be watched and savored by many.

The Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center houses a unique blend of artists, performers, and educators.

In early January, the Ivy Tech Waldron hosts Bloomington Repertory Theatre’s inaugural production of Narnia: The Musical in the Auditorium. Later in January, the Fourth Annual Percussive Dance Extravaganza also takes place in the Auditorium. Throughout January, Ivy Tech is proud to exhibit works from its Columbus campus alumni in the galleries.

Indiana Basketball: Hoosier Hysteria Indiana's passionate love affair with basketball began less than a decade after it was invented By Tim Tuttle

traveliN WINTER 2011 SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA

Long before March Madness or the glamour of the NBA, there was Hoosier Hysteria. Indiana’s passionate love affair with basketball began less than a decade after Dr. James Naismith invented it in 1891 and it remains one of the state’s fervent traditions.

1976 IU Basketball Team

Hoosiers grow up wanting to be basketball players and that focus has developed a never-ending river of talent. Their impact has been felt through the nation. John Wooden led Martinsville High to the state championship in 1927 and Purdue to the mythical [voted upon] national championship, in 1932. Wooden, a three-time All-American guard and national player of the year in 1932, coached at South Bend Central High and Indiana State in Terre Haute. Wooden was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 1962, two years before he coached UCLA to the first of 10 NCAA Division I championships in 12 seasons and became a national legend. Hoosiers already knew he was.

Indiana’s great players have come from big and small towns, from all corners of the state. Larry Bird played at Springs Valley High in tiny French Lick before leading Indiana State to the NCAA title game in 1979 and went on to stardom in the NBA. Oscar Robertson, the famed “Big O”, led Crispus Attucks High of Indianapolis to the state title in 1956 and

went on to stellar college and NBA careers. He’s the only NBA player to average a triple double–scoring, rebounds and assists—in a single season.

tried out for the basketball team. The “Milan Miracle” became the basis of the 1986 movie Hoosiers, regarded by many as the greatest sports film of all time.

Branch McCracken was an all-state player at Monrovia High and became an All-American at Indiana University. He coached the Hoosiers to NCAA titles in 1940 and 1953. McCracken also was responsible for integrating the Big 10 Conference. He recruited Bill Garrett, who led Shelbyville to the 1947 state title, to Indiana. Garrett was the first black player in the Big 10 and was a two-time all-conference selection and Robertson at Crispus Attucks.

Bobby Knight was born in Ohio and played basketball at Ohio State, but his highest achievements were coaching Indiana University to three NCAA championships. Knight retired with the most wins by a coach in NCAA history [900], most of them at Indiana. Knight's 1976 championship team, his first, was the last to finish the season undefeated. The Hoosiers, led by Scott May, Kent Benson and Quinn Buckner, went 32-0, beating Michigan 86-68 in the title game.

George McGinnis, Louie Dampier, Tom and Dick Van Arsdale, and Dick Barnett and Brad Miller are among the many who spent their high school careers in Indiana and went on to collegiate and NBA success. Bobby Plump may be the most famous Hoosier high school player of them all. It was his last-second shot that lifted Milan High to the 1954 state championship over Muncie Central, 32-30. Milan was a school with 161 students, 73 of them boys. Fifty-eight of them

Butler, a small, private school in Indianapolis, contributed the latest chapter of Hoosier Hysteria by reaching the NCAA title game in 2010, losing 61-59 to Duke. It was accomplished in the finest of Indiana traditions. The Bulldogs were [and are] coached by Brad Stevens, who grew up in Zionsville, played college at DePauw in Greencastle and has only coached at Butler. The Bulldogs’ star player was Gordon Hayward, who led Brownsburg

to the state 4A title in 2008. Hayward is the latest Hoosier to go on the NBA, but he certainly won’t be the last. Dr. Naismith wrote about Indiana’s pride in basketball after attending the 1925 state championship game at the Exposition Building in Indianapolis. The game, in which Frankfort defeated Kokomo 34-20, was played before 15,000 screaming fans. Naismith later wrote that even though basketball had been invented in Massachusetts, “Basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport. The possibilities seen there were a revelation to me.” Hoosiers love their basketball. They always have and always will. Larry Bird

New to WITT this fall, featuring Americana, alternative country, blues, bluegrass and the best of emerging regional talent Growing up on rock and roll and traditional country music, I always had the radio tuned to my favorite stations. My older brother’s record collection supplied my influences at a young age. By the fifth grade I was listening to the Beatles’ White Album, the Eagles’ Hotel California and to James Taylor and Johnny Cash. My career path led me to the doorstep of a little rock radio station in Southern Indiana in 1987 and has wound across the State of Indiana since then. My current home is on a small station – WITT 91.9 fm – whose signal broadcasts from Zionsville, a northern suburb of Indianapolis. This year, WITT was voted No. 4 in the favorite Fm radio station category by the Indianapolis listening audience in the WRTV “A-List Contest.” Over the past couple of decades radio has changed dramatically. In a large metropolitan city like Indianapolis, one would be hard pressed to find a station like WITT - the only place where indie music, indie programming and an eclectic music mix plays Johnny Cash in tandem with the B52’s, Frank Sinatra and the best of local and regional artists. Specialty shows that feature particular styles of music also find a home on the station, including ROOTS DINER, my contribution to the cause that airs on Saturday mornings at 11am and again on Sunday evenings at 10pm. New to WITT this fall, the show features Americana, alternative country, blues, bluegrass and the best of emerging regional talent. I particularly enjoy introducing local

and regional musicians to area radio listeners. Each month, I shine the spotlight on singer/ songwriters and groups that are making their way in the music industry. Upcoming Roots Diner Spotlights will feature Bloomington’s Tom Roznowski, Craig Brenner, and long-time Zionsville resident, singer/songwriter, David Moore, whose catalog was recently licensed by Warner Chappell Publishing. These three are among the finest of Indiana’s home-grown musicians. Their music is meaningful and memorable, and I’m always delighted to share their fine recordings with my radio audience. I’ll be featuring songs from David’s debut solo album, My Lover My Stranger in the coming weeks. Moore is the former front man for the indie rock band, Chamberlain and the Americana ensemble, Chevy Downs. Audiences will want to stay tuned for the ROOTS DINER Christmas Special. We’ll be featuring an array of talented Indiana musicians who will join me in the studio to share their Christmas memories and play some memorable music. It’s a pleasant holiday experience that my listeners have always enjoyed. We’ve heard it said that variety is the spice of life. WITT 91.9 fm is all about variety! After traveling the radio road for several years now, I have gained a renewed appreciation for indie radio stations and their commitment to airing a creative, eclectic and colorful mix of music and artists.

Towns offer culture and hospitality with a diverse array of specialties Like other cities of comparable size, Bloomington is comprised of a variety of neighborhoods, each of which boasts its own unique characteristics and diversity of structures, offerings and community activities. A central focal point from which each neighborhood emanates is the Courthouse Square. Four distinct historic districts—North Indiana Avenue, Westside, Prospect Hill and North Washington Avenue

The Courthouse Square District plays host to annual arts fairs and numerous musical events including the Lotus World Music Festival. It is home to an eclectic array of art galleries, restaurants, music venues and businesses. The B-line Trail, a brick and limestone-lined pedestrian pathway, provides the district easy pedestrian access from the surrounding neighborhoods.

North Indiana Avenue District borders the beautiful campus of Indiana University.

The Westside District is home to the venerable Showers Brothers Furniture Factory. Once the world’s largest, the old factory was refurbished in 1996. Today, the building houses Bloomington City Hall. A Saturday morning farmers market operates on the premises. Drawing thousands of visitors each week, you’ll find local foods, an array

Laid out as a public square in 1818, the Courthouse Square Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. With the assistance of the Downtown Bloomington Commission and federal tax credits, several downtown buildings were renovated. The Courthouse, the Princess Theatre, the Wicks Building and the Old City Hall are included on the National Historic Register.

A bustling east-west corridor from the Courthouse Square to the campus is the intersection of Kirkwood Avenue and Indiana Avenue. The stately Sample Gates grace the intersection and provide entry to the University’s Old Crescent Woods. Quaint limestone walls, brick sidewalks, turn-ofthe-century streetlights and lovely floral landscaping add to the ambience of the North Indiana Avenue District which was listed on the National Historic Register in 1997. While enjoying the samplings of Tudor, Colonial and Dutch Colonial revival styles, visitors will want to stop by The Gables where hometown legend Hoagy Carmichael wrote the classic song, Stardust.

Platted in 1893, Prospect Hill is located southwest of the Courthouse Square. Listed on the National Historic Register in 1991, this neighborhood’s residences reflect fine examples of Queen Anne, Free Classic and Period Revival architecture. The North Washington Avenue District is a two-block area north of the Courthouse Square. It was listed on the National Historic Register in 1991. Many of its Queen Anne and Classic Revival homes were built in the 1890s by brothers, W.N and J.D. Showers.
