Community Survey

 
The City of Bloomington has commissioned Webb Mgmt. to provide a facility-wide assessment of Bloomington Center for the Arts (BCA) in 2025. Through this project, all aspects of BCA’s operations and business model will be analyzed, strengths, challenges and opportunities will be assessed, and actions to ensure future marketplace viability will be recommended via a strategic plan. As part of the process, we need your input to help us better understand current public usage and interest in the BCA, as well as considerations for future usage. 
 
Please visit Let’s Talk Bloomington by July 14 to complete a short survey on your experiences with the Center for the Arts and your hopes for the future of the facility.
