We describe an ongoing survey to search for dark matter via lensing events of stars in the Galactic Bulge. The principal properties of the survey are described, and some preliminary results are shown for newly-discovered variables. We discuss some of the projects related to the study of the Galactic Bulge that can be addressed using these data, and describe the future plans for the survey over the coming few years.
