BCAT is currently closed until further notice, aligning with the closure of other public facilities in the City of Bloomington due to the COVID-19 situation. Please contact staff via email with any questions during this time.

We have made the tough decision to cancel our Teen Video Boot Camp summer youth programs in June, July and August due to COVID-19. Please contact BCAT staff if you have any questions about the camps.
