Our community’s rich creative culture is an essential piece of what draws people to Bainbridge Island and why many choose to make this place their home. There’s something special about the way the arts blossom here. However, we know it can be hard to keep abreast of everything that’s happening in the cultural sector - exhibitions, concerts, classes, plays, lectures, art walks, flm screenings, poetry readings, and more. And with such a diversity of galleries, museums, nonproft organizations, and creative individuals active in our community, sometimes seeing the forest for the trees can be a challenge. But we believe there’s something invaluable about tapping into the island’s creative spirit. We also believe that it should be easier to do. That’s why Arts & Humanities Bainbridge is introducing Currents Online. Starting in June, Currents Online will make it possible for the frst time to experience the full breadth and depth of Bainbridge Island’s creative culture in one easy-to-use resource.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    THE VIRGINIA V FOUNDATION 2019 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION: To promote the Puget Sound’s maritime heritage through the restoration, preservation, operation, and interpretation of the National Historic Landmark vessel VIRGINIA V. OPERATION As the VIRGINIA V sails the waters of the Puget Sound, she transforms from historical artifact to a living, working vessel. It is her ability to immerse guests in nearly a hundred years of local maritime history that sets the VIRGINIA V apart. In 2019, we were able to share that experience with 4,450 guests who got underway with us. We continue to offer low-cost public cruises, such as Steamship Saturdays in partnership with the Center for Wooden Boats and special narrated cruises in partnership with the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), to give the broader community access to our local waterways and maritime history. We have participated in well-loved traditions including Seattle’s Opening Day, Olympia Harbor Days, the Lake Union Wooden Boat Show, and the Blue Angels Viewing Cruises. The VIRGINIA V provided over 25 private underway charters, seven of which were wedding celebrations. None of this would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteer crew. From the licensed mariners like our captains and chief engineers, to our bartenders, docents, deckhands, and engineers, the VIRGINIA V would not leave the dock without them. 2019 OPERATION HIGHLIGHTS » 55 days underway on the VIRGINIA V » 17,150 total visitors to the vessel » 4,450 guests during public & private cruises » 4,200 volunteer hours donated PRESERVATION The VIRGINIA V continues to be the largest operational, wooden steamboat certified to carry passengers in the United States.
