My mother and I visited here as one of our first stop when arriving on Bainbridge Island recently, and we loved sauntering through and viewing all the crafts and art pieces made by local artisans. I especially enjoyed finding some pieces by an artist named Peter Koronakos, for example, who creates "oddball animals" assemblage pieces - my favorite on display being the "Squirrel with Hand Grenade". There was also a lovely Pileated Woodpecker carved piece by a Seattle-based artist named Mike Zitka (who, after I just Googled him, apparently has a feature collection currently going at KOBO Seattle - who knew!). Just some examples of the fantastic work available in this gallery. There's also a special section of the gallery that has for sale specific art and design books that the purchase of will support new material for the Bainbridge Public Library. How can you not love that?! All in all, it's a great, little gallery that I loved being able to support. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and show this local gallery - and the artisans that show their work here - some support. They deserve it. :)

After vetting and visiting our top three, there was no question in our minds - The Island School was the unanimous pick of our family! That was two years ago, and we are so happy we made the right choice. The Island School is a place where children can not only get an engaged, high-quality education that nurtures their natural strengths and curiosity, but also the equally important social instruction that communicates kindness, respect, and love for each other, regardless of race, background, gender or orientation. Check it out!

Dasha and her approach to teaching young people through art are genius; Ms Alissa is the kindest; Miss Julia was like a mom to us all! We still have my kid's artwork framed from that year.
