Arts Fair on the Square takes place on the picturesque grounds surrounding the Monroe County Courthouse in beautiful downtown Bloomington, Indiana, a town known for its diversity and strong arts community.

Arts Fair on the Square continually strives to foster the careers of artists, give artists a unique venue to present and sell their work, maintain high quality art and craft, and promote the fair and its artists.
