The City of Bloomington’s Commission on the Status of Women invites local artists and entrepreneurs to participate in the 2025 Women’s Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 23 at Bloomington City Hall, 401 N.

Participation is free, but space is limited. Artists and vendors are invited to register online for a booth space at bton.in/WM25. The registration deadline is 5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 4.
The Bloomington Commission on the Status of Women was established in 1973 by a committee of local women leaders interested in closing the gender pay gap in Bloomington. These women wanted a commission to be chartered to investigate what barriers stood in the way of attaining gender pay equity at a local level and what opportunities existed to advance towards this goal.
