From the Director<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Think for a moment about<br />
what you treasure most<br />
about living on <strong>Bainbridge</strong><br />
<strong>Island</strong>. There’s so much to choose from – our<br />
stately forests and calming waters, our excellent<br />
schools, the strong sense of community so many<br />
of us feel. And for many of us, the depth and<br />
quality of island arts and culture attracted us<br />
here, keeps us here, and even draws us back.<br />
Are we just lucky? No. <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong> is a<br />
community self-defined by high quality arts and<br />
cultural organizations, with literally hundreds<br />
of visual artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians,<br />
actors, and fabulous artisans in our midst.<br />
This vibrant culture did not just happen. You<br />
helped create it and continue to support it by<br />
patronizing the island’s galleries, performing<br />
arts, and cultural offerings.<br />
Until a couple of years ago, the <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Humanities</strong><br />
Council provided stability in the center of this<br />
community circle. As the recipient of strong<br />
government funding, we regranted significant<br />
amounts of money to local organizations and<br />
artists. We managed an award-winning <strong>Arts</strong> in<br />
Education program, providing artist residencies<br />
in the schools tightly tied to the curriculum. We<br />
nurtured organizations as a fiscal sponsor on<br />
many different levels, and through a multitude<br />
of collaborations.<br />
Yes things have changed. But not that much.<br />
The <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Humanities</strong> Council remains the hub,<br />
the incubator, a clearinghouse that provides<br />
connections, intersections, and bridges among<br />
artists, life-long learners, cultural organizations,<br />
and local stakeholders as far ranging as PTOs to<br />
tourists to local businesses and government. Our<br />
<strong>Arts</strong> in Education program is stronger than ever.<br />
I am optimistic.<br />
In my long career as an arts administrator I’ve<br />
seen many ups and downs. The challenges we<br />
face today are more extreme than normal, but<br />
experience tells me one thing. As long as our<br />
community values creativity, excellence, and<br />
mutual support, arts and culture will remain<br />
vibrant on <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong>.<br />
Thank you for your support, and enjoy<br />
the holidays!<br />
Barbara Sacerdote<br />

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL<br />
Editor’s Note: Inside Out<br />
I got to know the cultural community on <strong>Bainbridge</strong> when I wrote about<br />
the arts awhile back for one of our local newspapers. My job gave me<br />
access to locals whose accomplishments – bestselling novels, iconic films,<br />
large-scale public artworks – left me star struck.<br />
Over time, though, my crushes abated as I realized that even well-known<br />
artistic professionals around here continually and willingly negotiate the space between<br />
passionate creativity and regular old real life. Nobody I talked to was sequestered in an<br />
attic. No one was being hospitalized for “exhaustion” or melting down à la Greta Garbo’s<br />
ballerina in Grand Hotel. (“I want to be alone!”)<br />
On the contrary, they took care of their kids, grocery shopped, voted, went to the<br />
gym, and generally engaged in the same pedestrian pursuits we all do. It’s just that<br />
somewhere in there they managed to produce transcendent works of art.<br />
So I started asking nosy questions that were as much about the process of integrating<br />
life and art as about the art itself. I’d ask who cooked dinner at their house, how working<br />
around their children’s schedules affected their output, and whether making art ever<br />
felt like a chore. I’d ask them to tell me – please – how they weighed their domestic and<br />
financial responsibilities against the creative things they felt they must do lest their<br />
heads explode.<br />
Their answers were grounded, funny, and relatable. Often they said, “I dunno. How do<br />
you do it?”<br />
In other words, although the integration of “life” and “art” is never seamless, it is<br />
unavoidable, rendering the distinction borderline pointless. Sure, many yearned for more<br />
time and space to get into their heads and create. But most also believed that operating<br />
in a social vacuum wouldn’t work because their art was too intertwined with the world<br />
outside their heads.<br />
Kristin Tollefson explores this idea as she reports on the first international teaching artists’<br />
conference in Oslo, Norway. As a visual artist, Kristin’s extreme talent thrives within the<br />
context of all the other facets of her life: teaching, arts administration, motherhood, and<br />
a commitment to environmental and social change. In Oslo, teaching artists from every<br />
discipline and locale demonstrated the ways in which, working from the inside out, they<br />
are literally changing the world.<br />
Kristin’s perspective is energizing, especially when we look back to <strong>Bainbridge</strong> at the<br />
amount of creativity we’ll be able to take in this season, moving from the holidays into<br />
the introspective days of winter. Whether your passion leads you inward or outward, I<br />
know you’ll discover something wonderful. t vel molupti aceptatem. Itatur andandestis<br />

BARN: An Artisan Center for bainbridge<br />
A dream is about to come true. For several years, a group of <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong>ers<br />
envisioned an artisans’ community center, a place where people of different ages and<br />
skill levels could share and learn from one another, for mutual benefit.<br />
Today, this group of visionaries has come together as BARN, the <strong>Bainbridge</strong> Artisan<br />
Resource Network. The island’s newest non-profit organization is now official, and hard<br />
at work to build and operate an artisan center here<br />
on <strong>Bainbridge</strong>. And the <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Humanities</strong> Council<br />
is proud to be a Fiscal Sponsor of BARN!<br />
BARN on the inside<br />
The center will have well-equipped community workshops for woodworking, metalworking, fiber<br />
arts, jewelry making, and other artisan crafts, along with multipurpose spaces. There will be classes<br />
for all skill levels, as well as open studio time for personal and community service projects in a<br />
setting where people can learn from and inspire one another.<br />
BARN's beginnings<br />
BARN formed earlier this year as a collaboration among the <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Community Woodshop<br />
– which has been trying for several years to open a community woodworking shop – and informal<br />
groups and individuals focused on fiber arts, jewelry making, and other crafts.<br />
The group has also found support and interest from many others, including people who want to<br />
create a “maker space” to encourage inventing and tinkering; a community tool lending library; and a fix-it shop.<br />
Get involved: To help with this community project or to request more<br />

NOTES fROM OSlO: Kristin Tollefson on teaching artistry<br />
Seasonal change often invites introspection,<br />
and for the past several seasons, I’ve been<br />
mulling over questions about the work I<br />
do in the world. I am an artist because of<br />
passion and training, yet I still struggle with<br />
the common misconceptions that this career<br />
path is either fabulously carefree or hopelessly<br />
self-absorbed. As such, in spite of the fact<br />
that I regard art as the backbone of a thriving<br />
culture, I question the anatomy of my own<br />
contributions to society and their measure of<br />
fundamental importance.<br />
Cultivating a path as a teaching artist has<br />
helped me knit together these strands of<br />
inquiry. Simply defined, a teaching artist is<br />
a practicing, generative artist who is also a<br />
passionate and committed educator. This<br />
work unfolds in myriad diverse locations, including<br />
school residency programs, libraries, community<br />
centers, health care facilities, and senior living<br />
residences. Student learning resides at the core of these<br />
engagements with art. And art, used in the service<br />
of expanding knowledge, community building, and<br />
communicating, infuses every aspect of this learning<br />
and justifies itself within the framework of social<br />
practice.<br />
Bolstered by my alignment with this belief, I applied<br />
for and was asked to attend the First International<br />
Conference of Teaching Artists in Oslo, Norway this<br />
past September.<br />
The conference, which was co-organized by Eric Booth and<br />
Marit Ulrund of SEANSE Art Center and which included<br />
participants from organizations around the world, hung on<br />
affirming fundamental ideas that unite this field of teaching<br />
artistry, making connections with practitioners on a global<br />
level, and acknowledging the expansive manifestations of<br />
our work.<br />
Presenters and participants at the conference illuminated<br />
ways in which they touch a wide range of communities with<br />
their art forms and challenge conventionally accepted ideas<br />
of art. For example:<br />
Tanzanian drama teacher Grace Gachocha used<br />
methods from the theater of the oppressed to<br />
translate social issues into community-directed<br />
performance.<br />
Marit Moltu created a “pictorial movement,” a<br />
participatory public performance installation<br />
placing yarn in the hands of 100 conference<br />
delegates in the garden at the Norwegian<br />
Royal Palace.<br />
Sarah Johnson of Carnegie Hall showcased<br />
inspirational work with incarcerated musicians<br />
at Sing Sing Prison.<br />
Pia Leppänen-Keränen, a Finnish participant,<br />
discussed teaching color theory to babies<br />
through food preparation and play.
and social practice<br />
Amidst the broad spectrum of engagement revealed<br />
through this community of artist-educators, core<br />
themes also surfaced: Firsthand involvement in<br />
creative practice helps people transcend embedded<br />
limitations of communication; teaching artists act<br />
as conduits for student discovery and facilitators of<br />
the learning process; and regardless of the artistic<br />
discipline practiced, teaching artistry attunes<br />
participants to a transformative magic that shapes<br />
the way they look at the world.<br />
These consistent themes have broad implications.<br />
When teaching artists ply their crafts, they cultivate<br />
real listening; they hear the desires of their community<br />
of learners and involve them in the process. This act in<br />
turn cultivates a form of learning stewardship, a grassroots<br />
investment made by participants who find and<br />
voice their strengths.<br />
Eric Booth, an international leader on the topic of<br />
teaching artistry, articulates the importance of this<br />
transformation in his book The Everyday Work of Art:<br />
“We need to attend to the artistic experiences<br />
throughout our lives… In doing so, we reclaim<br />
many dwindling passions; we awake dormant<br />
skills with which to construct good answers to life’s<br />
hardest questions. We all have a natural knowledge<br />
of the processes and perspectives that artists<br />
use, even if we have not focused our efforts on<br />
developing these skills the way artists have.”<br />
This conviction is not restricted to conversations<br />
about the arts. Across the board, in discussions ranging<br />
from environmental concerns to social justice, creative<br />
engagement is the constant.<br />
The fusion of learning and teaching, individuals and<br />
communities, and the affirmation of the core impact<br />
of arts in society I experienced during the Oslo<br />
conference had a profound impact on me. I came<br />
away both grounded – by a greater commitment to<br />
my own work and its ability to support community –<br />
and buoyed by witnessing firsthand ways in which<br />
the methods of teaching artistry support an embracive<br />
way of navigating the world.<br />

“[The arts] are a very human way of making life more<br />
bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or<br />
badly, is a way to make your soul grow….”<br />
~ KuRt VoNNEGut<br />
I was reminded of the words of Kurt Vonnegut, who said,<br />
“[The arts] are a very human way of making life more<br />
bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly,<br />
is a way to make your soul grow."<br />
And in these days of reconfiguring economies,<br />
remembering how to work together, and advocating for<br />
the cause of humanity, it is critical that we all draw upon<br />
these innate creative and inclusive capacities.<br />

Beach glass is pretty in a jar, but how about the chance to make it a permanent part of<br />
<strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong>’s landscape – and history?<br />
The Waypoint, in conjunction with Mesolini Glass Studio, will be producing 30 fundraising tiles<br />
to integrate into the Waypoint plaza at the southeast corner of Winslow Way and Olympic Drive.<br />
Each tile will be crafted from concrete and beach glass donated by private citizens, with the<br />
interiors depicting island-themed icons in fused glass. These tiles will become a focal point<br />
of the Waypoint’s plaza area, concentrically placed to create a circular mosaic with a 14-foot<br />
diameter. Tiles will be finished and ready for installation in the early spring.<br />
Diane Bonciolini and Gregg Mesmer of Mesolini Glass Studio have a lengthy history of creating<br />
community works of art on <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong> including the Beach Glass Quilt on Winslow Way, a<br />
COBI Public Art project that was managed by the <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Humanities</strong> Council.<br />
Donations of beach glass can be dropped off at Mesolini Glass Studio at 13291 Madison Avenue<br />
NE, or at the Chamber of Commerce, 395 Winslow Way E.<br />
For more information on The Waypoint Project of <strong>Bainbridge</strong> <strong>Island</strong>, contact Shannon Evans at<br />

all adults have great<br />

Sense of place<br />
is integral to<br />
community<br />
well-being.<br />
When a town is engaged and alive, there is widespread<br />
connection, loyalty, and pride among its people. Open discussion,<br />
empathetic decision-making, and creative problem-solving all<br />
inform and support the bedrock of a healthy village.<br />
Just as raising a child takes a village, so does nurturing a village.<br />
Communities thrive when citizens and leaders are inclusive,<br />
collaborative, and culturally aware.<br />
VillageSpeak is a nonpartisan nonprofit whose mission is to<br />
cultivate open, cross-island discussion about local issues.<br />
VillageSpeak seeks to engage dialogue before, after, and during<br />
the fires that flame our island, not just afterwards. It seeks to<br />
positively impact the livability, friendliness, and respect that keeps<br />
our families safe, supported, and connected.<br />
Each month VillageSpeak<br />
brings together a different<br />
group of local leaders, often in<br />
a moderated panel discussion,<br />
to engage community<br />
listening and learning.<br />
From teenagers seeking to<br />
affect local governance, to professionals at various stages of their<br />
career and family lives, VillageSpeak kindles open conversations<br />
across the diverse sub-cultures that define our island. Religious<br />
beliefs, family compositions, income levels, political leanings, all<br />
have a place at o ur village table.<br />
villageSpeak is dedicated to:<br />
encouraging ongoing, collaborative community<br />
discussion about local issues<br />
providing opportunities for our leaders to<br />
meet with us in one-to-one conversations<br />
cultivating empathetic, knowledgeable<br />
civic participation and leadership<br />
bringing the wide cross-section of island<br />
voices into the town discussions<br />
enlisting the arts to inform community<br />
self-awareness and governing decisions<br />
