The city of Bloomington has three indoor ice rinks in this facility, a snack cafe (pizza, hotdogs and churros), free parking and restrooms. Temperatures near the ice are a chilly 60- degrees F. All rinks have stadium seating and the metal bleachers are cold to sit on.
Two rinks have mezzanine viewing at indoor temperatures. There are no seats in the mezzanine, but you can sketch at the rail or bring a stool. Recommended to wear long-johns, warm clothing and a blanket for your bum if you sit in the bleachers. All materials welcome.
Note: It can be quite busy and loud at the rinks. There is also a room-temp seating area in the hall adjacent to the rinks. There are tables and chairs there and a view of the wetlands. Car-pooling suggested in case the big lot is near capacity.
FYI, we tried to make arrangements with Asia Mall for the February sketch, but it didn’t work for them. Another time.
Finally, what a great opportunity to practice gesture drawing at the rinks! Just like Degas and his ballerinas😄. All the best, Lori
PS, If anyone would like to be a co-host “Sketch Wrangler” with me, please send a private message or state so on this thread. The more the merrier as we have a lot of new enthusiastic members and I need help welcoming them and introducing who we are and what we do. ❤️
