Our New Building

_

Welcome to the new Lotus HQ!

In late 2015, Lotus acquired our first-ever permanent home at 105 S. Rogers St. (an old firehouse built in 1955).  Thanks to the generosity of almost 150 donors, grantors, and businesses, we’ve been able to transform this neglected building into an exciting new multicultural arts venue for small concerts, after-school art programs, workshops, demonstrations, exhibits, classes, receptions, and more. Scroll down to explore the history of this community effort to bring #morelotus to Bloomington!
