The FAR Center for Contemporary Arts was created in 2018 to expand and nurture the local arts community. We support bridges between Bloomington and the broader art world. Our mission is to form an influential space for contemporary art and creativity of all kinds. We exist to question boundaries, awaken conversations, and shape community through empathic engagement.FAR brings together photographers, poets, sculptors, illustrators, musicians, painters, and dancers in a multi-use space. Here, the arts are both shared and taught, through exhibits, lectures and workshops, and performances. Weddings and private event rentals help support these programs.
