Friday Finds: Bloomington never ceases to amaze me


Bloomington never ceases to amaze me. I’m always coming across creative people, wondrous programs and abundant resources on almost any topic.

This week I stumbled upon an annual book sale I had never heard of but plan to visit next week. The Indiana University Art History Association will offer gently used fine arts and non-fine arts books at bargain basement prices April 27 and 28. The sale will be in the lobby of the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. Proceeds will benefit the Art History Association.

This afternoon in the same neighborhood three professors will discuss Andy Warhol in a program called “Genius, Charlatan or Something in Between.”  History of Art professor Dawna Schuld, Journalism professor Claude Cookman and Alex Doty, professor of Communications and Culture/Gender Studies, will examine the impact of Warhol’s art on their respective fields. Meet in the Special Exhibitions Gallery of the IU Art Museum at 3 p.m. for this FREE one-hour Art-Side Chat.
