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.

Parking Lot Demos in August

Join us on four Saturdays for artist demos in the parking lot between Eagle Harbor Bookstore and Heart. We'll be able to watch and talk with artists whose methods require a little more elbow room than those that we usually have in the gallery. August 7, 14, 21, 28, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

FREE, of course.

NEW ONLINE EXHIBITION: Great Photographs from Workshop Students

In February,Photographer Kay Walsh took BAC workshop students on a photoshoot at The Bloedel Reserve. A week later, they met later for a discussion and critique of their work. Here you see samples of student work. Kay Walsh has work in BAC's April exhibition, "The Illusion of Depth," and her work is featured on the exhibition announcement card.

BAC warmly thanks The Bloedel Reserve for generously making this beautiful winter landscape available to our class!
