Free Education Programs: BAC offers many free art education events each year. You can meet artists in the Gallery talking about their work, or demonstrating their materials and techniques. We’ve had special guest lecturers speak on topics as varied as studio glass, Japanese American furniture design, and the history of the Museum of Modern Art. We also offer an occasional 15-minute art history discussion in the gallery.

BAC Workshops: Want to learn how to draw a boat? How to create woven wire sculpture? How to make your own kite? How to use that new digital camera? BAC offers affordable workshops throughout the year, taught by our local artists or by guest instructors from across the country.

The Random Art History Study Group Meets in April!

Artists have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves to make you think that that two-dimensional surface goes back forever. Join BAC Education Director Victoria Josslin for an informal discussion of the Illusion of Depth.

Thursday, April 8, 5-6 p.m. $10. Please call 206.842.3132 to enroll, or drop by the gallery.

ONLINE EXHIBITION: Great Photographs from Workshop Students

In September, photographer Kay Walsh took a small group of workshop students to various places on Bainbridge in a project called "Shoot the Tools." Several of the students were willing to share the results with us, and we're very pleased to share them with you! Stay in touch - we're planning another photo workshop with Kay soon. Also, Kay has very beautiful new photos in BAC's November show, Women Behind the Lens.

BAC warmly thanks BI Cycle, The Bloedel Reserve, Robert Spangler, Net Systems, and Garth Edwards!
