In December 2024, the Painting Guild from the Eskenazi School of Art and Design held a pop up show in our 505 Theatre. The group was made up of graduate and undergraduate students, displaying their best work. All of the work was included in a silent auction where the proceeds went to supporting activities in the Guild such as attending ArtExpo Chicago, trips to New York and more. The opportunity to offer an exhibition space for different groups and organizations is something we love to do.

About the Indiana University Painting GuildThe Indiana University Painting Guild is a student-run organization whose primary aim is connecting with the greater Bloomington community via event presence, service, and fundraising. It was founded as a way to solidify community within the Painting program at the university, and to promote artistic engagement through excellence. Our members consist of various artists within the program, both at the MFA and BFA level, and our collective collaboration produces powerful connections in the art world, as evident with our current goal of exhibiting at Chicago Expo. Much like preceding artistic guilds, we forefront and re-define what it means to be a contemporary painter and artist through meetings, discussion, and experimentation.
