Bainbridge Youth Talent Showcase Are you a creative expression teacher or student? You now have a community platform where you can submit a video and share your talents with a virtual audience! Live performances have been put on hold this past year during the pandemic, but a local voice teacher sparked the idea of a virtual outlet for students to perform what they’ve been working on. Arts & Humanities Bainbridge is sponsoring a new youth program called Bainbridge Talent Showcase It is described as a “virtual stage for the community’s creative youth and to highlight the work of their teachers” In this episode of What’s Up Bainbridge AHB Board members Linda Kramer Jenning and Stephanie Reese share with us what inspired the program and the vision for showcasing local youth talent on the cultural platform Currents. Stephanie tells us about the value for the young performer on reaching an audience, as well as her experience in showcasing her students and what that means to her as a teacher. Linda and Stephanie want to see more teachers and students contribute to the Talent Showcase. Linda tells us how to do that and the criteria. You may watch the videos on Currents Bainbridge Talent Showcase webpage here. Contact the Currents Online Editorial Board at editor@bainbridgecurrents.com or 206.842.7901.

"Something New," Public Art's newest program, will be officially unveiled on the First Friday Art Walk, July 6th from 6-8 pm.  The Public Art Committee, a subcommittee of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, partners with the City of Bainbridge Island to manage and facilitate COBI’s Public Art Program.  Their newest project, “Something New,” consists of a rotating public art venture, featuring sculptures by regional artists to be displayed for one year within the Winslow corridor.  Last Fall, the Bainbridge Island City Council approved funding for this one-year pilot project for public art.  The Public Art Committee conducted a call for art, selected a jury and collaborated with COBI’s Public Works department to design pedestals for the selected sculptures.  Selections were made in  March, the artists were notified in April, pedestals were built in May and the sculptures are being installed in June.    The three chosen pieces and locations are: “Hand in Hand by William Robinson (to be placed in Waterfront Park across from the Senior Center), “Iris Flare” by Lin McJunkin and Milo White (to be placed on Winslow Way near the intersection with Erickson Avenue) and “Three Color Spires” by Gerry Newcomb, which will stand in the harbor-side plaza at the southern end of Madison Avenue.   For the official unveiling of “Something New” on July 6th, the Public Art Committee will have a tent on Winslow Way and provide shuttle rides between the three locations, allowing the community to view the selected pieces and meet the artists.  All are welcome to join the festivities.   While the bases are permanent, the art is not.  Once approved by City Council, the next round of art will be selected and installed in 2019.   “Something New” supports the Cultural Element of COBI’s Comprehensive Plan by creating a stimulating visual environment on Bainbridge Island.  The Public Art Program and the Public Art Committee provide stewardship of the City’s public art portfolio, allowing the community to experience great art, to support local artists, and and to foster the creative process in our region.   For more info visit www.ahbainbridge.org.  Credits: BCB host: John Fossett; audio tech: Chris Walker; audio editor and social media publisher, Diane Walker.

From senior flirting to downward dogs and runaway beets, no subject is off limits to Bainbridge poets when invited to submit their favorite works with no theme to inhibit their creativity! Every year, in April,  local poets submit their poems to Arts & Humanities Bainbridge for posting in island storefronts in honor of National Poetry Month, and each year at the end of April the winning poets gather to read their poems aloud. This year BCB was on hand on Wednesday, April 25th, to record Poetry Corners Live, an event hosted by Arts & Humanities Bainbridge at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. This year's lack of theme — a conscious determination on the part of the judges — resulted in a broad range of poems: some short, some long; some humorous and some deeply moving; some remembering loss and others full of hope. The lucky folks who listened to this event heard some truly magnificent work —  and now you can enjoy it, too! Listen here, and enjoy a flavorful blend of island creativity. For more information, or to purchase a Poetry Corners 2018 chapbook with Karen Chaussabel's colorful image, “Surrendering to What Is” on the cover, visit the Arts & Humanities Bainbridge website or stop by their office in the Marge Williams Center on Winslow Way West.

If you've enjoyed reading the poems in all the windows along Winslow Way this month, you'll want to be sure to listen as the poets read their poems aloud as part of Poetry Corners Live at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art at 7pm Wednesday evening, April 25th. Begun in 1999 by Kathleen Thorne under the aegis of Arts Humanities Bainbridge, Poetry Corners has for 19 years provided a venue for the many poets of Bainbridge Island to display their poems in the windows of local businesses. Listen here as BCB host Charlotte Cook talks with Island Treasure and poet extraordinaire Nancy Rekow about the history of Poetry Corners, who's eligible, and how the poems are chosen. We also learn that AHB will be producing a chapbook of the poems, which will be sold at the Poetry Corners Live event on the 25th, and that the BIMA cafe will be selling delicious food for an hour prior to the event. Poetry Corners Live is free to attend, but registration is required: for tickets and more information about the program and the poets, visit the AHB website at AHBainbridge.org.

What do Elvis and Salvador Dali and yoga have in common? They're all subjects of this year's Celluloid Bainbridge Film Festival, coming this weekend to a theater near you! In this podcast, Producer/Director James Forsher and Librarian John Fossett share an entertaining conversation about the Celluloid Bainbridge Film Festival, coming this weekend to the Lynwood Theater, Saturday and Sunday, November 4th & 5th. This year promises a delicious smorgasbord of quality films, as Arts & Humanities Bainbridge once again presents its annual two-day event, showcasing films and filmmakers from Bainbridge Island and the greater Pacific Northwest. The festival opens with a meet-and-greet reception for filmmakers, council members, and filmgoers, beginning Saturday, at 5 pm with fine food and drink served at the Manor House Restaurant. After the reception, the celebration will move across the street to the Lynwood Theater. Saturday night's headliner will be Steve Stolee's tour de force documentary, One Man's Treasure, about the Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction and Rummage Sale that began as a small-town fundraiser to build a library and has grown to gigantic proportions and international attention. An engaging short comedy, The United Guys Network, from Vancouver filmmaker, Tabatha Galat, will close out the evening. Sunday, at 9:00 a.m., another exciting day of movies begins with a rich variety of offerings, including a very surprising “sneak” documentary and a who-done it involving a prodigal sister, the practice of Yoga, and a painting by Salvador Dali. Film fans will not want to miss this exciting weekend of documentaries and drama, comedy and mystery, and a sneak-peek about a very unlikely relationship. Full passes and single movie tickets are available, and can be purchased by going to the Arts and Humanities Bainbridge website: www.ahbainbridge.org.

In this podcast, we meet organizers and participants in the ambitious Bainbridge Island arts community project called "Earth Art Bainbridge." They talk with BCB host Reed Price about their goals and plans and the many opportunities for community members to join in. Earth Art Bainbridge is the brainchild of local activist, computer scientist, and author Beth Robson. She hopes that people will start thinking now about how to explore their response to our changing climate using art – whether the medium is music, theater, poetry, photography, painting or performance. Barbara Sacerdote, the Executive Director of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge says her organization is fully supportive, saying “if any community can do this, Bainbridge Island can.” Also part of this discussion are: Kathleen Thorne of Bainbridge Performing Arts and Island Theater; both groups have plans to support the project; Leslie Schneider of OfficeXpats, who will be organizing a speed-lecture show, “Ignite Bainbridge,” as part of Earth Art Bainbridge; Joel Sackett, accomplished photographer, who is the project’s lead artist; and Janet Knox, poet and scientist, who is among the project’s early announced participants. For more information and to indicate your possible interest in participating, visit the Earth Art Bainbridge website. Or, contact the organizers through their website. This project is sponsored and supported by: Sustainable Bainbridge, Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, Artopia Creative, OfficeXpats, Island Theater, Bainbridge Performing Arts, Ignite Bainbridge, Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District, Bainbridge Public Library, the Bloedel Reserve, and the Bainbridge Community Foundation.
