Arts center kicks off community week with flash mob

Oppa co-op style.

Demonstrators from the Trained Eye Arts Center in Bloomington performed a flash mob around noon Monday at the Indiana Memorial Union.

The participants performed their own rendition of Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” the most-watched YouTube video to-date with more than 1.1 billion views.

The flash mob was the ceremonial start to a week of free community lectures and classes sponsored by the Trained Eye Arts Center, whose studio is located at 615 N. Fairview St.

The group has seminars about studio photography and entrepreneurship basics on Monday and will offer an East Coast swing dancing lesson from 5 to 7 p.m. and a painting class from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday.

On Friday, a WordPress website portfolio session from 5 to 7 p.m. and an improvisational acting class from 7 to 9 p.m. will conclude the week.

All of the classes and sessions by the Trained Eye Arts Center this week are free, and those interested in attending or in need of more information should visited TrainedEyeArts.com.
