Bainbridge Island Studio Tour

 The Bainbridge Island Studio Tour celebrates 41 years this winter as a popular regional art show. It features 54 regional artists and handcrafted work in five island studios and community halls including the wonderful Bainbridge Island Masonic Center. Featured at the Masonic Center will be 18 artists with many new people and art mediums. The Studio Tour website has a downloadable brochure and map plus details on each artist with photos and an artist statement. For more details go to: www.bistudiotour.com  

 The Ski Swap is an annual fundraiser for the Bainbridge High School sailing team. Money raised at this event goes to sailing scholarships as well as boat purchases, maintenance, and repairs.

The sailing team accepts donations of ski and snowboarding gear from the community in the weeks leading up to Ski Swap. That gear is then sold at greatly reduced prices during a one-day event in November. The community gets a tax break for gear donated, the ski gear gets recycled, and the sailing team raises much-needed funds.  For the last six years, the event has been held at the Bainbridge Island Masonic Center. The sailing team is so grateful for the Bainbridge Island Masonic Center's steadfast support of this community event. For more information about Ski Swap, please visit: www.bhsailing.org/skiswap
