Upcoming Exhibitions

ART COUTURE

March 5-29

It has been said that what truly separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize. This season BAC will feature daring new styles and trends from the studios of inspired artists.

When we invite artists to participate in a group show, we give them the theme, but they take it places that we could never foresee. When we asked Alisa Moore about her plans, she said, "shoes are my longest and most successful love affair." Lynn Brunelle, who works in fused glass, warns us to expect chickens in sassy heels. Brian Fisher promises us a look at Kali: Fashionable Diva, as well as Eve Modeling Ready-to-Wear: The Garden Collection. On a very different path, Morgan Brig begins her work for this show with a pair of antique wooden forms that children’s shoes were made from.

APRIL

April 2 – May 4

The Illusion of Depth

For at least the last 16,000 years, artists have drawn and painted on flat surfaces, and allowed the viewer to imagine three-dimensions. They’re still doing it and we still want to believe them.

Gayle Bard, Carole Barrer, Megan Drew, Gretchen Hancock, Mary McInnis, Colleen Meacham, Julie Scandora, Hugo Shi, Kay Walsh, Barbara Wilson, Ellen Wixted.

Linda Costello, Greg Kono, M.J. Linford, Catherin Michaelis, Michiko Olson, Jessica Spring.

MAY

The Woods

May 7-31

The woods are the setting of ecology, charming scenery, and scary legends. Wood is the material of functional vessels and imaginative sculpture. We mix them all up together in our May show, The Woods.  

Gretchen Hancock, Brian Kemkes, Mary McInnis. Elizabeth Moga, Karin Schminke. Denise Harris, Bob Hickernell, Lowell Martin, Seth Rolland, and Dave Schweitzer.

The Elementary School Show

High School Show

May 18-31 

Every May, Bainbridge Islanders come into BAC and say, “KIDS did this?” They did, and BAC is proud to exhibit their work. Of course, we also think we have the best art teachers on the planet.
