There were a lot of vendors selling all types of goods from jewelry, clothing, accessories, trinkets and more. They had some performances going on as well. They also had traditional games and crafts going on in one of the conference rooms. Generally something for everyone! The building itself was nice from the areas we were able to access. They had a gallery of native art which was really cool. Lots of parking and super easy to find.

Ten minutes well spent Might not be great most the time…read moreBut it is great now This review is not so much for the Bloomington Center for the Arts (not Bloomington Art Center as Yelp has it listed), but for the current exhibit that they have going on right now featuring the artwork of Thomas Fluharty. I actually probably spent more than ten minutes there. Call it twenty. If you are older than 30, you have probably seen some of his work at one time or another in your life. It has been featured on numerous magazine covers. Usually, caricatures of political figures seen on the front of Time, U.S. News & World Report, etc. He has also had work published in Mad Magazine and other periodicals. Much of his stuff will definitely give you a chuckle. My only complaint about the exhibit is there was not a ton of stuff in it. Just one smallish room with maybe fifty or so pieces and many of those being sketches and not paintings. In addition to the caricatures, there were many pieces featuring dogs, religious work and a few other odds and ends. If you are interested in drawing yourself, he will be teaching a class at the Center in August. Per his Wikipedia page, he currently resides in Minnesota.

I called last week to check on my order. No answer at the Burnsville location. I went to the website where I saw the staff shortage message. They disabled their "Contact Us" feature on their website. I called their second location and heard a voice message which said they would email customers when the order was ready. They don't have my email though. I tried to leave a voice message, but it is unclear as to whether the message was recorded. I am very disappointed. At a minimum, they should allow us an opportunity to retrieve our items. Like many others, my items are of sentimental value. I am not sure what to do next.
