Dear Friends, 

Several years have passed since 

I moved to Bainbridge from 

Seattle. Like so many islanders, 

I became a commuter. My world 

revolved around my home, Rte. 

305, and my ferry friends. 

That all changed in June when I jumped at the chance 

to work where I live, leading this wonderful arts and 

humanities organization. 

My eyes were quickly opened to the vast cultural 

resources hidden behind our dense stands of cedar, 

including high quality art and craft galleries, artisan 

workshops, music organizations, performance groups, 

and museums. And now I look forward to something 

a community our size rarely enjoys, a fine museum to 

showcase our extraordinary local and regional artists – 

the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA). 

Maybe you are like me, and thought the Arts & 

Humanities Council was part of the city government, 

but we are not. For three years out of our rich 25-year 

history, we did serve as the funding conduit to the 

island’s arts and humanities organizations. However, 

COBI’s funding for arts and culture ended in 2010. 

Today, our core mission is unchanged – to nurture 

Bainbridge Island culture. 

Our role is to enrich, inspire and support the creative 

community, professionals, and patrons alike. We 

have three focus areas: 1) Arts Education, 2) Cultural 

Services for the creative community, and 3) Advocacy 

& Promotion of all that Bainbridge Island humanities 

and arts has to offer – part of which is the redesigned 

Currents you are now reading. You will also see a 

much more robust and nimble online presence in 

the coming months. We look forward to hearing 

your thoughts. 

’Tis the season of generosity, so I hope you will 

consider us in your year-end giving plans. This 

past year the Arts & Humanities Council: 

• Engaged 2,200 young people in a full range of 

quality arts and humanities programs. 

• Awarded more than $55,000 in grants and 

scholarships to outstanding members of the 

cultural community. 

• Provided a wealth of important services to 

hundreds of local artists, 28 organizations, and 

thousands of Bainbridge residents. 

With your support, our work will continue. You can 

make a contribution today, either online or in your 

One Call for All red envelope. Please help us ensure 

that the arts and humanities continue to flourish on 

Bainbridge Island! 

Cheers, 

Barbara Sacerdote, 

Executive Director 

2 CURRENTS WINTER 2011 - 2012 

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL 

A Fresh Eye 

Last winter, the Arts & Humanities Council conducted a community survey 

to find out what you value about our organization and what you want 

from us going forward. 

Several of the questions concerned this very publication: do you read 

Currents; do you like it online or in print or both; and which pieces of it do 

you find valuable? 

Your resounding message to us was, keep Currents coming. You like 

receiving a free compendium of cultural happenings, and you like having the option either to 

view it online or to stow a printed copy in your glove box or near the family calendar. 

You also let us know that Currents contained a lot of densely packed information that was 

sometimes hard to wade through. Clearly a testament to how much is going on in any given 

quarter – but we heard your message. 

With feedback in hand, I sat down during the summer with Jeanette, our graphic designer 

extraordinaire, and Barbara, our executive director, with an eye toward streamlining and 

enlivening the magazine. We wanted clean, we wanted modern, we wanted eclectic. In short, 

we wanted a Currents that reflected the astounding and inventive variety of goings-on around 

the island. 

What you have in your hands now includes everything you told us you value – news about us, 

news about other cultural organizations, and a month-to-month event listing. 

But Currents also has a crisp new edge, including full color, spiffy stock (how better to 

showcase white space than in white?), and a calendar that looks like a calendar, with pointers 

to details online at www.artshum.org. 

I hope you like the new Currents as much as we do. And as always, I welcome your e-mail 

feedback to currents@artshum.org, the same address you can use if you’d like to submit event 

or program listings for the next edition. 

All the best to you for a jam-packed, fun-filled – yet still relaxing, quiet, and togethernessoriented 

– winter season. 

Lindsay Masters, Editor 

P.S. As if one full-on revamp weren’t enough, we’re on the verge of launching a brand new Arts & Humanities 

Council website with a similar philosophical and design bent. Fresh, fun, and events-oriented! To stay on top

PUBLIC ART PROGRAM 

Work in Progress 

Island residents, visitors, and 

businesses have lived and breathed 

the evolution of Winslow Way during 

these last months. One of the most 

exciting parts of the renovation for 

the Arts & Humanities Council has 

been the installation of Public Art by 

regional artist Bruce Myers, a project 

that has occurred incrementally 

and in tandem with construction. 

We’re excited to see the unveiling 

in early 2012. 

Myers shaped each stainless steel 

circle and arc by hand, welding the 

circles together in his studio to form 

a pattern of magnifi ed raindrops that 

complement the newly installed rain 

gardens. The patterns are installed 

in six locations on the south side 

of Winslow Way, creating a wayfi 

nding path for ferry foot traffi c 

from the intersection of Winslow 

Way and Highway 305 to downtown 

businesses. 

Next up is the installation of cut 

stone mosaics and cast bronze 

molds (shown here), which will 

replace the wooden blockouts in the 

sidewalks. The beauty of our natural 

environment inspired these handwrought 

elements. 

Project background 

The Arts & Humanities Council 

is contracted with the City of 

Bainbridge Island for 2011 to 

manage this latest City of Bainbridge 

Island Public Art project. The artwork 

was selected by the Public Art 

Committee, a volunteer citizens’ 

advisory group, during a multi-year 

evaluation process. The artwork 

is supported by the Public Art 

Fund and a $20,000 grant from the 

National Endowment for the Arts.

CURRENTS WINTER 2011 - 2012 3


ARTS IN EDUCATION 

Here’s how we know it makes a difference 


At the end of each school year, the Arts & Humanities 

Council takes time to evaluate our Arts in Education 

program. One 2010-2011 artist-in-residence, poet Vicky 

Edmonds, sent us a particularly touching evaluation of her 

experience that perfectly encapsulated how and why our 

Arts in Education program matters to families, to teachers, 

and to artists. 

My family is like a baseball. 

My father is like the leather that protects us. 

My mother is like the stitching that holds us all together. 

My brother is like the cork inside 

that makes that beautiful sound when it’s hit, 

and I am like the bat 

that hits a home run of love 

for all of us. 

This program is funded in part by The Suquamish Tribe, 

Washington State Arts Commission, and Bainbridge Community Foundation. 

At Ordway Elementary 

School, Edmonds had the 

opportunity to teach poetry 

in every classroom. In an 

uncommonly silent fourth 

grade classroom, she saw a 

challenge ahead of her. 

“They were very quiet, very 

internal kids. There was 

barely a word the whole time 

they were listening, which is unusual in any classroom,” 

she said. 

Undeterred, Edmonds continued with her lesson 

plan, which included an explanation of the extended 

simile – a type of poem that compares two dissimilar 

concepts. The students embraced the format, writing 

poems about their families. And although they were 

initially shy about sharing their work aloud, Edmonds 

was able to draw them out of their shells. 

“When they did share, the poems were amazing,” 

she said. 

On the last day of Edmonds’ residency, a break-through 

occurred. A boy approached her and told her he’d 

written a special poem for his mother as a birthday gift. 

“I can’t quote it exactly, but it went something like this,” 

she said: 

My family is like a baseball. 

My father is like the leather that protects us. 

My mother is like the stitching that holds us all together. 

My brother is like the cork inside 

that makes that beautiful sound when it’s hit, 

and I am like the bat 

that hits a home run of love 

for all of us. 

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to do this 

amazing residency with all the kids and teachers 

at Ordway Elementary this year,” Edmonds said. “It 

has been one of the best experiences of my life to 

be there for three weeks and have such a feeling of 

community…I am so grateful to the children, to the 

teachers and to [the Arts in Education program] for 

making this possible for me.” 

Planning for this year’s program is under way; to

HOW DO OUR GARDENS GROW? An insiders’ view of Bainbridge in Bloom 

By Lindsay Masters 

When Wade Garretson approaches prospective Bainbridge 

in Bloom garden owners, they don’t hesitate because they’re 

worried about security or having their property trampled. 

They’re worried that their gardens might not be good enough. 

“People are very humble,” Garretson said. “It’s a very personal 

thing. They’re really sharing themselves by putting their 

gardens on the tour.” 

During her three-year tenure as chair of the 

Bloom garden selection committee, Garretson’s 

guiding principle has been the joy of finding 

and sharing the island’s hidden gems through 

any means possible: word of mouth, personal 

friendships, knowledge of area garden 

designers, and in some cases, childhood friends 

and memories. 

The process factors in everything from the 

core “wow” elements – the atmosphere and 

the sensorial effects of light, color, texture, 

composition, and plant combinations – to the 

practical. Like parking and neighbors. 

“You just can’t take it because you like it. You have to consider other 

things,” she said. 

Garretson added that the best gardens tell a story, one that comes 

from the garden owners who pour their hearts and souls into the 

design and development of their cherished outdoor spaces. And she’s 

always impressed when they decide to remain in residence for the 

weekend. 

“It’s sort of a contact sport,” she said. “People are coming at you and 

asking questions – and the real gardeners love that. They just love it. 

And I just love watching it.” 

Two of the garden owners who elected to stay home for the Bloom 

this year were Anne Smith and Will Smart, who joined garden hosts 

Leslie Marshall and Herb Hethcote; Deborah and Phil Kummerow; 

Debbie and Peter MacLeod; Hazel and Andrew Lonseth; Vineyard 

Lane; and Cassie and Doug Picha, who hosted the Evening in Bloom 

dinner auction. 

The prospect of so many visitors motivated Smith and Smart to get 

their garden into shape, and Smith found visitors across the board 

to be appreciative and complimentary, which was certainly fun. But, to Garretson’s earlier point, what stuck 

with Smith the most was what she gleaned, both from the other garden owners and from the engaged 

enthusiasts who walked her Manzanita grounds that weekend. 

“It’s just so much fun to get other ideas,” Smith said. “I felt like as much as I shared, I learned from the people 

who visited.” 

The Arts & Humanities Council would like to thank all of its 2011 garden hosts as well as our Bainbridge 

in Bloom sponsors, including Ace Hardware, Agate Pass Transportation, Bainbridge Bakers, Bainbridge 

Dental Care, Bainbridge Gardens, Bainbridge island Lodging Association, Bainbridge Island Winery, Balboa

BAINBRIDGE CHORALE presents... 

Peace and Joy 

A Christmas Celebration 

Directed by Michael a. Miller, Jr. 

accompanied by anne Pell and instrumental ensemble 

Saturday, Dec. 10 • 7:30 pm & Sunday, Dec. 11 • 3:30 pm 

Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church • 11042 Sunrise Dr. NE, Bainbridge Island 

W V W 

Tickets & Information: 206.780.2467 or see: www.bainbridgechorale.org 

Bainbridge chorale is supported in part by San carlos Restaurant and 

receives additional funding through One Call for All. 

The Bainbridge Chorale 

Celebrates 40 Years 

In 1971 on Bainbridge Island, population 11,284, a group of 

music lovers gathered in the home of Gloria and Lou Goller to 

discuss forming a choral singing group. They recruited singers 

and an accompanist, and on Sunday, December 12, 1971, in 

the Bainbridge High School LGI Room, David Pence directed 

the fi rst performance of the Bainbridge Chorale. The work 

performed was Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria. 

Today’s Chorale was built by more than a thousand singers 

and musicians who have generously off ered their time, talent, 

skills, and creativity to the Chorale and this community. Our 

traditions of dedication, excellence, and outreach continue 

to guide us as we strive to create the best possible musical 

experience for our young and adult singers and audiences. 

In so doing, we honor that small group who founded this 

community choir back in 1971.

following events: 

The young singers holiday recital, December 4. 

our holiday concert, “Peace and Joy – a Christmas 

Celebration,” which includes a rousing performance 

of John Rutter’s Gloria with double brass ensemble,

Overcoming obstacles together – 

Bainbridge Island 

Special Needs Foundation 

On any given Thursday, you might hear singing coming 

from a little house on Winslow Way, just across from the 

Winslow Green. 

That’s The Stephens House. Since 2002, the nonprofit 

Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation has operated 

this young adult day program to serve our island 

community and enrich its culture. 

EXPLORE THE STEPHENS HOUSE 

For young adults with developmental disabilities, a day full 

of exercise, social interaction, and diverse activity means 

increased health, mental well-being, and quality of life. The 

Stephens House offers a wide variety of programming in a 

safe environment outside clients’ homes, for far less than 

the cost of private care. 

Two experienced, full-time staff members develop our 

programs, which include arts and crafts, games, exercise, 

model making, sewing, gardening, music, guided 

computer work, and cooking – yes, we make the famous 

mini-doughnuts! 

In The Stephens House van, we make exciting and 

educational excursions to take in the arts, museums, 

sports, and the outdoors. 

A STEPHENS HOUSE OUTING AT FORT WARD. Courtesy photo. 

Every Thursday we hold a sing-along, joined by Bainbridge 

Island School District’s Adult Living Program students. 

We regularly collaborate with other special needs 

organizations such as People First and the Special 

Olympics. 

New clients, visitors, and drop-ins are welcome! 

There’s a place for everyone at The Stephens House.
