FEBRUARY EXHIBITIONS
February 3-27
Northwest Printmakers
Printmakers – people who work with real live presses – already have a demanding process, whether they create blockprints, monotypes, or etchings. For this exhibition they do all that and in color.
Anne Lewis, who works in monotypes, says, "I value what is left in, and what is left out. Most of all, I welcome the uniting of beauty and emotion. The printmaking process invigorates the dialogue I seek with composition. I ask the shapes, colors, lines, and textures to reveal themselves: to express their energy, to express their nature, and to express their imperfections. Each print is a unique study of relationships, and within each relationship is the desire for intimate discovery."
Pam Galvani, Sam Hamrick, Anne Lewis, Jennifer Mann, Wes McClain, Ellen Wixted.

Mixed Nuts
Why study art? Because it lasts a lifetime. The students, K-12, whose work we show this month will be able to draw, paint, and take great photographs for years to come. BAC’s annual Mixed Nut s show allows us to enjoy their fresh vision of the world.
INSIGHTS: Work by Artists with Disabilities
Working with an energetic group of advocates for artists with disabilities, BAC has invited twenty dedicated and talented artists from the Kitsap Peninsula to be in a special February exhibition at BAC TOO. Our vision is best expressed by painter Craig Rogers, who said: “I hope when people see my art and respond to it they don’t think it’s pretty good art for a guy with a disability. I hope they can see the passion and integrity I put into my work.” BAC is delighted to meet this new community of wonderful artists!
