First Thursdays showcase the diversity of arts and humanities at IU Bloomington and offer a welcoming environment for students, faculty, staff, and community members to explore new creative outlets. Previous iterations have included everything from opera to breakdancing, stage-fighting to clay-throwing, and much, much more. Each event is a unique opportunity to experience the wonderful work of artists, performers, and scholars from all across campus and around town.
With the cold weather approaching, the November First Thursdays will bring its showcase of art, ideas, and community inside. The event will take place at several indoor spaces across campus with each space will hosting a unique lineup of partner booth activities as well as food, drink, and print giveaways.
