Free Education Programs: BAC offers many free art education events each year. You can meet artists in the Gallery talking about their work, or demonstrating their materials and techniques. We’ve had special guest lecturers speak on topics as varied as studio glass, Japanese American furniture design, and the history of the Museum of Modern Art. We also offer an occasional 15-minute art history discussion in the gallery.
BAC Workshops: Want to learn how to draw a boat? How to create woven wire sculpture? How to make your own kite? How to use that new digital camera? BAC offers affordable workshops throughout the year, taught by our local artists or by guest instructors from across the country.
Parking Lot Demos in August
Join us on four Saturdays for artist demos in the parking lot between Eagle Harbor Bookstore and Heart. We'll be able to watch and talk with artists whose methods require a little more elbow room than those that we usually have in the gallery. August 7, 14, 21, 28, beginning at 1:00 p.m. FREE, of course.

Max Grover Workshop Coming in October
 
Painter and book illustrator Max Grover finds the extraordinary in the ordinary world around us. In this two-day workshop, Max will jump-start your ability to observe and imagine and will give you the tools to put that vision on paper.
On Saturday, Max will guide you in drawing and sketching your ideas; the next day, you’ll execute a finished painting based on your work the day before. This workshop will help beginning or advanced painters learn new drawing techniques and compositional skills, as well as basic color problem resolution with acrylic paint. Supply list will be provided. Drop by the gallery to sign up, or call 206.842.3132.
Saturday and Sunday, October 16 and 17, 10 am-4 pm
For ages 14 and older
Tuition: $225 (BAC members $200)

NEW ONLINE EXHIBITION: Great Photographs from Workshop Students
In February,Photographer Kay Walsh took BAC workshop students on a photoshoot at The Bloedel Reserve. A week later, they met later for a discussion and critique of their work. Here you see samples of student work. Kay Walsh has work in BAC's April exhibition, "The Illusion of Depth," and her work is featured on the exhibition announcement card.
BAC warmly thanks The Bloedel Reserve for generously making this beautiful winter landscape available to our class!
