About Us

Our Mission: 

Established in 1948, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts is a nonprofit gallery and arts organization dedicated to supporting local and regional artists; providing arts education, outreach, and scholarships; and sparking a love of art in our community. We partner with Pacific Northwest artists and organizations to foster a vibrant arts culture on Bainbridge Island.

Our Values

Our work in the community is guided by the following values:

  • We spotlight and support emerging regional artists whose work can inspire our community. 

  • We seek out and represent diverse backgrounds, identities, and perspectives.

  • We enrich the arts and cultural fabric of the Bainbridge Island community.

One of Bainbridge Island’s founding arts and cultural institutions, BAC is a place where artistic connections are forged. Through exhibitions, arts education and programs, artist representation, and creative collaborations that foster a culture of diverse artistic expression, BAC creates a window to the world: a place where creative ideas are exchanged and artists are discovered, celebrated, and amplified.
