Blue Connection is a unique business endeavor that synergistically combines the strengths and diverse talents of the students and faculty of the School of Art and the School of Business at Millikin University in Decatur, IL through the Art of Entrepreneurship course. This course lets students take part in the entrepreneurial venture of running every aspect of an art gallery - from sales to marketing and even making some of the art themselves! From the success of this course, Millikin University has continued the entrepreneurial spirit by starting two similar business & arts courses, Bronze Man Books and First Step Records, featuring publications and recordings.

Each handmade art piece for sale in the gallery is a unique creation of a Millikin student, faculty member, alumni or relation. Blue Connection hosts many events, the largest features its performing artists at a free event, After 5 Live, which takes place the first friday of each month. Join us at the Blue Connection Gallery -- it's easy to find in downtown Decatur, Illinois, in the Madden Arts Center, home of the Decatur Area Arts Council.
Blue Connection Gallery is staffed by students and Millikin volunteers. It's the perfect place to find a unique gift for that special someone! Browse our online store to see the great art pieces that the Millikin community has to offer.
