All who have participated in Bainbridge Island Working Studios are passionate artists who at the minimum open their doors to the public twice a year to engaged in educating their visitors, helping to take the mystery out of their lives and processes. We hope you have had the chance to experience their efforts, have seen continued growth in their work while seeing the ways they push boundaries. If you are new to the area, we look forward to meeting you and sharing with you what we do.

As 2019 wraps up and a fresh and shiny new decade begins, our wish for you is that you experience creativity and continue to reach for your hopes and dreams.

Cheers to you, yours, and to the arts on Bainbridge Island and the Olympic Peninsula in 2020!
