DEADLINE: 5 p.m. Thursday, December 6, <strong>2012</strong><br />
The winning work of art will serve as the face of the 25th annual garden tour and Evening in Bloom benefit auction,<br />
taking place July 12-13, <strong>2013</strong>. Marketing for the Bloom, which is the <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Humanities</strong> Council’s most important<br />
annual fundraiser, reaches a national audience through magazine, print, and online promotion.<br />
While the artwork will be used to promote the garden tour, submissions need not be limited to traditional, literal<br />
representations. We seek artwork inspired by gardens, flowers, plants, landscapes and seascapes, or outdoor<br />
spaces. Photographs and figurative work are welcome, and we invite you to push the envelope, for example with<br />
color and abstraction.<br />
You’ll find complete eligibility and submission guidelines, along with details about recognition and benefits, at<br />

<strong>Island</strong> during the month of April and shared aloud at a celebration reading.<br />

CAll For BEACH GlASS: The Waypoint<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 />
pshannon.evans@gmail.com. To learn more about the glass tile and fabrication process, please<br />
contact Greg Mesmer or Diane Bonciolini at diane@mesolini.com or visit Mesolini Glass Studio.<br />
With your help, this former eyesore will become a welcoming green space gateway!<br />

SAvE THE DATE FoR THE <strong>2013</strong> ISLAND TREASURE AWARDS!<br />
The wind howls through the valley<br />
lifting snow and sculpting<br />
ice banks walled along the river.<br />
White firs lean in<br />
bowing side to side<br />
loosening their coats.<br />
Though night is approaching<br />
I follow ski tracks into the wood.<br />
