Meet Bloomington makers

This recurring city-hosted fair gives regional artists a place to display and sell original work at Fernandez Plaza. Ceramics, jewelry, painting and fine craft are typical of the market’s selection.

The fair shares the morning with the Community Farmers’ Market, making it easy to pair a focused art visit with other local shopping. The smaller scale rewards conversation with makers.
