Bainbridge Island Museum of Art It was a bright and beautiful day in the rainy city. And it had been nearly two weeks since bridge Island Museumthe o last First Thursday so I was feeling a n i little art starved. Since NYC is crawling with tourists this time of year, not to Ba mention the heat, humidity, and invasion of baby strollers from Brooklyn, I did what any other sensible art seeker in my shoes would do. I hopped a ferry and went to Winslow. What? Okay, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but very soon, that’s exactly what sensible art seekers are going to be doing now that the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is open. “Viva BIMA!” Anne Hirondelle • “Coil V” At the risk of giving you the impression unglazed stoneware with paint, that all the sophisticated art-crit vocabulary courtesy of Francine Seders Gallery photo credit: Marvin Gauger got knocked out of my head the moment I Bainbridge Island Museum of Art walked into this place, I just need to say that I think that the best and most surprising BIMA is so totally cool. Honestly, I tried thing about being inside BIMA is all the to maintain my visitor-from-the-big-city natural light that pours in everywhere. If demeanor but this place is hard to resist. The you’re one of those people who gets gallery curved concrete, glass, and steel building fatigue from the lack of light and air in designed by architect Matthew Coates is those cloistered spaces where art usually big and handsome—it kind of dares you to lives, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised by walk by—and it’s walking distance from the all the views of the outside world. If there ferry. Take the first left turn and you’re there. ever was a museum that’s ideal for seeing and being seen at the same time, this is it. A good place for both of those pastimes is the John and Lillian Lovelace Gallery on the first floor. It’s a rare and delightful experience to be wandering through selections of Northwest art from BIMA’s permanent collection while ferryboats float in and out of view and people stroll the streets of Winslow just outside the window. Especially when the collection is as much fun as this one is. I like the pair of elegant but cheeky Philip McCracken sculptures—different versions of eternally suspended tension—that are sitting right next to each other.
