withdrawn. Public figures from Bloomington and Indiana share differing reactions to President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu | @alisonkgraham

Following Trump’s announcement to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on June 1, Indiana politicians voiced their support or disapproval of the decision in everything from official statements to tweets. Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill issued a statement Friday in support of Trump’s decision to withdraw from the climate agreement. Hill said in his statement there is no question that humans have a direct effect on the

environment and that countries must be responsible in their use of natural resources. However, he said the agreement is a symbolic one that would only promote radical energy policies that would harm the United States economy. “We must reduce our carbon emissions with a balanced approach that realistically provides for our energy needs while advancing more efficient forms of energy at reasonable costs,” Hill said in the statement. “Our friends in Europe must understand that we will put our own interests first.”

City galleries welcome summer crowds By Emily Eckelbarger eaeckelb@umail.iu.edu | @emeckelbarger

Cottonwood fluffs floated through the air as sunlight warmed Bloomington’s downtown sidewalks well into Friday evening. Bloomington residents and visitors alike hit the pavement June 2 to explore the galleries that keep their doors open late for First Friday celebrations. These downtown galleries stay open late on the first Friday of every month to play host to exhibits and serve refreshments. Visitors can enjoy exhibits by 11 downtown galleries within a half mile radius. Despite IU students’ recent exodus from Bloomington for the summer, June’s Gallery Walk thrummed with activity. Lauren Kniss, the gallery director at Pictura Gallery on Sixth Street, said that it can be hard to predict the turnout for summer Gallery Walks. June’s Gallery Walk, though, was a success. Pictura Gallery has participated in Gallery Walks since it first opened in 2008, and the momentum gained by Gallery Walk events since then has been obvious to Kniss. “Every year, it’s been getting bigger and bigger,” she said. Servers circulated throughout the gallery with platters of food in hand as visitors leaned in to examine the photographs on the walls. “It’s been a great crowd,” Kniss said. “We have a loyal following, and they always come out.” For its summer exhibit, Pictura Gallery showcased Kevin Horan’s show “Chattel.” Featuring studio-lit, black-and-white portraits of farm animals, the show exhibited a more playful side of photography.
