This exhibit highlights the history of the Indiana University Summer Language Workshop, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this summer. Founded in 1951 at the height of the Cold War as the Russian Workshop to address a critical shortage of language instruction, the program quickly expanded to become one of the largest and most effective intensive language programs in Russian, and later other less commonly taught languages, in the United States. Over its 75-year history, the Workshop has provided language training to more than 10,000 students in approximately 50 languages. The exhibit features archival documents, publicity materials, photographs, artifacts, and oral history interviews with former directors, instructors, and alumni that illustrate the development and success of the Workshop.

Constellation Stage & Screen presents "Next to Normal", on stage November 4 - 21 at the Waldron Auditorium.

The Tony and Pulitzer Prize-Winning Rock Musical

Experience the electrifying Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical that delves into the heart of a family shattered by mental illness but held together by love. Diana Goodman, a suburban mom battling bipolar disorder, struggles to connect with her ambitious daughter and devoted husband as they navigate the chaos of Diana’s condition. With a soaring, unforgettable score by Tom Kitt and poignant book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, Next to Normal is an unflinching, empathetic portrait of resilience, loss, and the pursuit of hope. Hailed by The New York Times as a “transformative,” “feel-everything” musical, this modern masterpiece is a must-see theatrical event.

Juniper Art Gallery is honored to present an exhibit of artwork by Bloomington’s beloved Nora Liell, who passed away on July 6, 2025.
Nora was a multimedia artist exploring themes of the sacred and profane feminine, natural beauty, and cosmic mystery. Through organic linework and bright color that rejects the chromophobic, minimalist traditions of modern design, her paintings express a profound love of the worlds within and without, while her sculptures and ceramics celebrate the joy of the simple and earthbound.
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the life and artwork of this dynamic woman, friend and creative. A reception will be held during the First Friday Gallery Walk, September 5, from 5-8:00pm
