Gallery B at Bloomingfoods Near West
Bloomingfoods staff exhibit
by bloomingfoods team members
October - December 2025
Artists’ Statement
This quarter in Gallery B is filled with a unique variety of art made by Bloomington-based artists that share one thing in common: they’re all staff members at Bloomingfoods Co-op Market. Every piece you will see displayed on our Gallery walls has been hand-crafted by some of our talented and creative staff members, and we couldn’t be more excited about being able to help them share their art with the community.
Gallery B’s Staff Exhibit artists draw from the inspiration around them to create their pieces and have learned to express themselves in all sorts of ways. We hope that you will enjoy observing the unique differences between each expression from every individual’s art as much as we enjoy the opportunity to share it with you.
Some of these artists have social media, digital portfolios, and online shops. See more below and follow their art journeys!
Chaz
Medium: Hand-colored vintage xerox
Chaz is displaying a different exhibit each month!
Cap it off in October—You would never believe it, these vintage rubber swim caps are from the 1960s.
Chaz’s artwork isn’t meant to be perfect. Like life itself, we work hard, give all we can, and then comes a new sunrise—a shift, a change of events. She reminds us to notice what’s around us, to appreciate it, and to give back. That’s what keeps Chaz’s world turning. And when it all starts to spin too fast, she holds tight to the people and things she loves—and somehow, it all balances out.
