Located one-half block north of the McLean County Museum of History and 2 doors north of Spice Works in the historic district of downtown Bloomington, Beluga Press offers tribute to the art legacies of seasoned artists while celebrating nature, contemporary art and cultural themes. 

Founded in the 1990’s as a practicing printmaking and painting studio, Beluga Press features new media and experienced artists inclusive of Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University faculty, visiting artists, and alumni. With a growing variety of exciting artists and new works, Beluga Press is fast becoming one of Bloomington’s most prestigious fine art galleries.

In 2017, we expanded our mission to include the distribution of more than 3,000 works from the estate of Harold Boyd, Professor Emeritus of Illinois State University. In 2024 we added 10 new artists.
