The Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA) is located in the City’s downtown and is a platform for performing arts and entertainment in the community. With a 1,200-seat auditorium and an 11,000 square foot ballroom, the recently-restored, historic 1920 theater welcomes more than 50 touring artists annually and is also home to many area performing arts ensembles. The center also features an outdoor summer concert stage and is in the process of developing a community arts education facility, the Creativity Center.
