The art walk makes me a little sad sometimes, because if you're an art lover Bremerton is not the…read moreplace. Best that can be said is not all of it is dreadful, a tiny portion wouldn't look out of place in a real city gallery, but most of it would look merely okay on the wall of a hotel restaurant. But I'll give the walk a good rating anyway because it's well attended on a warm evening, and people are in good moods and friendly. It's an authentic way to meet people, though if you're honest to peoples' faces about the local "talent" most will look at you like you're so darned rude. So put on a happy face, tell whoppers about how cool the art is, and make friendly. And be on the look-out for the face that silently replies, "You really think THIS shit is good??" so you'll know to laugh at yourself and say, "No, not really, this salmons, lighthouses, and seagulls on broken piers stuff makes us all look like The Egg & I hillbillies," and you may have just met someone who could be an intelligent real friend.

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. :)

They also donate to a women's artist/artisan group in Africa and you can purchase jewelry, particularly necklaces, made by that group. The artist working when we got there was very gracious - she came up and told us about the shop then went back to work but she was on hand if we needed to check out. My friend got one of the beaded necklaces and I got a Seattle-themed art piece in the shape of a crescent moon. It was very hard to decide. Everything was lovely. As we understood it, Ms. Stirrett has several large commissions located throughout the region. Hope to pay better attention and see some of those soon. We will back here for Christmas.

Being on vacation, we leaned toward his photos in and around Seattle, but he has pictures from around the world. They can be ordered in a variety of styles (photo paper, canvas, metal) and sizes.
