Throughout Spring and Summer 2020, the Arts & Humanities Council presented Thursdays@Home, a variety program featuring live performances by IU faculty and students from a wide range of disciplines and creative practices, from music and poetry to dance and theater, and more! Building on the spirit and energy of our beloved First Thursdays festivals, the Thursdays@Home programming connected people and built community across distances at a time when we couldn't gather together for our usual joyous celebrations of arts and humanities, but we could still appreciate and enjoy creativity everywhere. The program streamed live on the Council's Facebook page and featured talented faculty and students from all across IU Bloomington.
