All are welcome in the BPA Gallery for the First Friday Art Walk from 5 to 7 p.m. July 1 for an artist reception and a fun evening of art, food and friends.

This special showing by the Bainbridge Island Modern Quilt Guild features 22 original quilts. Choosing different traditional block patterns, contributing quilters created their interpretive modern quilts.

Modern quilts reflect a modern design aesthetic, often inspired by classic quilt blocks, but break traditional barriers. Imagination is often the only limitation. Visit online at www.bainbridgeislandmodernquiltguild.com and www.facebook.com/bainbridgeislandmodernquiltguild.

The BPA Gallery showcases regional artists in monthly rotating exhibits in the C. Keith Birkenfeld Lobby. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, plus one hour prior to each performance. Admission is free.
