Bainbridge Performing Arts is currently seeking artists for future exhibitions in the BPA Gallery during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

The BPA Gallery is a no-commission venue that showcases regional artists in monthly rotating exhibits in the C. Keith Birkenfeld Lobby.

Exhibiting artists routinely participate in Bainbridge Island’s First Fridays Art Walk.

Both artists and patrons benefit from the no-commission arrangement. The BPA Gallery is a visually enticing space that provides artists with a lot of traffic, and when BPA’s patrons consider buying a piece of art they know that 100 percent of their money is going directly to the artist who created the work. This fosters a special value-focused relationship between artists and art enthusiasts within the BPA community.

Artists interested in arranging a showing of their work are encouraged to contact Dominique Cantwell via email with linked or attached work sample at dcantwell@bainbridgeperformingarts.org. Preference will be given to local artists and all media will be considered.

Gallery hours are 12 to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, and one hour prior to each BPA performance.

June’s exhibition is “Further Instructions from the Ochre Room,” an exhibit of acrylic on canvas by Michael Pontieri.
