If you went to IU would you be living on campus or at home? Also, you can also end studying abroad for summers, a semester, or a year, so even if you stayed in Bloomington for college, you would still have the chance to get away and experience a completely different location. And music majors generally do a lot of summer music festivals all over the world, so that’s something else to think about.
IU has an amazing music program, and if the professor will get you in as a music major if that’s what you decide you want to do…that’s huge. IU has one of the most highly regarded music programs in the country, if not the world.

Here they’re talking about a BFA in 3D modeling and animation: BFA in INMS, 3D Modeling and Animation : Academic Bulletin
I think there are probably definitely artistic opportunities if you want them at IU.
