BLOOMINGTON CAMPUS OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY

The 2011 Bi-Annual College Book Art Association Conference will be held on the campus of Indiana University, located close to downtown Bloomington, Indiana, about 50 miles south of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Scenic

The IU Bloomington campus is a magnificent blend of traditional and modern architecture set in a landscaped environment.  Walkways meander alongside streams, through woods, and along tree lined paths. We invite you to preview some of the scenes that await you by taking a virtual campus tour. (hyperlink to:  www.iub.edu/tour). 

Culturally Rich

IU Bloomington’s cultural offerings will surprise you with an impressive art museum, a full opera and symphony season, a non-circulating library of rare books and manuscripts and a museum of world culture….and that is just on the campus.  The community of Bloomington is alive with art and music – international, classical, jazz, bluegrass, early and popular music.
