lancing at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, you might expect people to swoon over the glass wall, or the rooftop garden. But for Greg Robinson, executive director and curator of the museum, it’s also the basement that hooked him.

“People ask me why I took this job, and they expect the answer to be ‘the mission,’ ‘the location,’ ‘the budget,’ or ‘career path’,” Robinson said. “Part of the reason I took it was because of the design for the basement.”

The museum’s sophisticated basement with temperature control and generous space, includes a museum archive room for art storage. Designing a basement of such magnitude impressed Robinson. It showed how serious the museum’s board was in fulfilling its mission to house a permanent art collection, and to support critical operations.

“It’s one thing to have a great vision and mission, and it’s another to be able to support it,” Robinson said. “You can have all the dreams you want, but you can end up being frustrated on a daily basis if you don’t have enough storage, work space, or the right mechanical systems.”

SHAPING THE MUSEUM In the early design stages, Matthew Coates, architect and owner of Coates Design Architects, went straight to the public for feedback. After all, the museum was for the community, so why not solicit its opinion?

“The corner of Highway 305 and Winslow Way is arguably SPRING 2013 ▲ BAINBRIDGE ISLAND MUSEUM OF ART

the most prominent corner on Bainbridge Island,” said Coates.

“Most art museums are big enclosed boxes, but I didn’t think we could get away with that here. The building needed to be representative of the community.”

Coates spent a weekend creating ten different museum models from balsa wood, and then invited the community to view the samples and share ideas at a reception. About 300 people flooded the lobby of the Bainbridge Performing Arts building, leaving comment cards in their wake. The public didn’t hold back voicing both criticism and praise. Coates took the feedback and tweaked the designs. The result is the concrete, glass and steel structure now standing at Bainbridge Island’s southern entrance.

“To be honest, I was really surprised that people liked the curve,” Coates said. “It’s a very dramatic form. But the more I dug and talked to people, I learned that the curve really resonated with them because it is a gesture of invitation.”

It’s like the museum is waving you in, beckoning “Come and stay awhile.” The curve draws visitors into the museum’s main entrance. Meanwhile, the 28-foot glass wall allows those outside the building to feel connected with what is happening inside, and vice versa.

Coates showed his playful side when he designed an ankle-high glass cutout inside the main upstairs gallery. From the outside, people can look up and see others walking around.

“Your socks better match,” Coates joked. “Because your feet will be on display.”

Bringing the outside world in was an intentional design element Coates carried throughout the building. Standing on the second floor of the Beacon Gallery, visitors can see the ferry terminal, as well as up and down Winslow Way – serving as a reminder that the community is never far away.

NUTS AND BOLTS Board member Ralph Spillinger is all business when he talks about the museum. He speaks lovingly of heat pumps the way art collectors describe their favorite artists. That’s why he was the perfect fit to be chair of the facilities committee. He visited the construction site almost daily and knows every nook and cranny of the 20,000 square foot space.

“I’m a retired civil engineer,” Spillinger said. “I tell people I’m one of two people on the board who is left-brain. But we are needed. Someone needs to keep the project on-budget and onschedule.”

Spillinger previously helped oversee the construction of Naval Submarine Base Bangor and several NASA projects, so he knows what it takes to bring a building from blueprints to reality.

Touring the museum, Spillinger describes with excitement the sophisticated “Class A” gallery where the temperature and humidity range are controlled down to the smallest increments – a critical feature in protecting artwork and meeting art museum standards.

Around 300 people viewed the ten different museum models, sharing their ideas and opinions on comment cards.

And he’s over the moon about the geothermal heating system.

Fourteen wells were dug up to 400 feet deep, and water from the wells pumps into the system, heating the air in the winter and cooling it in the summer. It came with a hefty price tag, but also a strong financial and environmental return. Spillinger said it is proof of the board’s commitment to build a quality, sustainable museum.

With that he rattles off other environmental features – solar panels, paint free of volatile organic compounds, building insulation from recycled denim, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. It Courtesy of Coates Design Architects is the museum board’s hope to be awarded the gold level in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), designated by the U.S. Green Building Council.

SHEDDING SOME LIGHT There is a dichotomy when it comes to light and art. Artwork is best seen under natural light, but over time such light degrades the quality of art. To tackle this problem, Coates and his team did extensive studies on how the light would stream through the museum at different times of the year.

“I was determined to provide a well-lit viewing environment while not injuring the artwork,” Coates said.

In the main upstairs gallery, skylights were installed with a curved diffuser. The diffuser will reroute the light and cause it

to bounce off the sloped ceiling. The result will be natural light without its harmful rays.

The Beacon Gallery was designed to display less volatile art such as metal and ceramics. But even so, Coates devised a plan using motorized shades to be used when needed.

EVER CHANGING If you drive by the museum on your way to work, it might look significantly different on your way home. Why? The wall of glass, while inviting, can cause temperature influx inside the museum, putting an extra burden on the heating and cooling system. To remedy the problem, the museum had louvers designed to adjust to the sun’s light – opening and closing automatically. When the sun is bright and strong, the museum louvers will close. On a gray day, the louvers will stay open. And at night, the museum will glow with a warm light from within, giving off the look of a lantern.

“I wanted the building to look different each time you pass it,” Coates said. “The result makes it seem as if the museum is alive.”

And then there is the rooftop garden designed pro bono by famed gardeners George and David Lewis (Little & Lewis).

The plants and foliage will change with the seasons, providing greenery and shading.

UNCOVERING THE PAST, WELCOMING THE FUTURE The property where the museum now stands was once a junkyard. As a teenager, owner of PHC Construction, Marty Sievertson, remembers scouring the yard looking for truck parts. Even though he was familiar with the land’s history, he

“We dug out about 2,500 tires. We kept digging and found car bodies, bumpers, doors. And even an old school bus.”

wasn’t prepared for what was unearthed when his company began prepping the construction site.

“We dug out about 2,500 tires,” Sievertson said. “We kept digging and found car bodies, bumpers, doors. And even an old school bus.”

When possible, everything discovered was recycled. Almost 200 tons of steel was recovered, which, coincidentally, was about the same amount used to build the museum. And before the recycling company would accept the old tires, they were given a bath to remove the decades-old mud.

Developer Andrew Lonseth, founding principal of Asani, said the notion of a local art museum has been floating around for years. It’s been discussed over dinner parties, on the ferry and in the aisles of Town & Country Market.

The art museum is affectionately called “a living room for art.”

But through thoughtful design and development, the art museum turned out to be even more than originally envisioned. The outdoor courtyard becomes a concert venue and a gathering place. Pocket doors inside the museum allow for multiple groups to rent space simultaneously, making the museum not only a vessel to hold art, but a civic center for public use. A business retreat can be held in the upstairs gallery while a family reunion reminisces over old movies in the downstairs auditorium.

“Asani’s view is to do developments from our heart. We believe our projects should enhance the community, otherwise we don’t do them,” Lonseth said. “It’s that simple.”

Late 1990s Dream of creating a permanent home for the work of local artists and craftspeople is launched; BIMA founder Cynthia Sears works with a small group of community members to explore the possibilities.

Early – mid 2000s Visits to various regional art museums fuel the desire to create a local art museum.

March 2009 The first meeting of the new regional art museum‘s Board of Directors was held March 9, 2009. In attendance were John Baker, Bill Carruthers, Mary Curtis, Cheryl Dale, Steve Davis, Paul Kundtz, Althea Paulson and Cynthia Sears. The Founding Board expanded in 2009 with Elizabeth Coplan, Rondi Gangnes, Sherry Grover, David Lewis,and Laura Lundgren, and in 2010 with Richard Albrecht, Bill Baran-Mickle, John Ellis, Robert Jones, Robert Skotheim, and Chris Snow. See page 46 for the current list of Board Members and Honorary Leadership Council Members.

Summer 2009 - Spring 2012 Art museum site is secured; Ralph Spillinger (future vice-president for facilities) leads a session on factors for project success; initial architectural design concepts begin.

June 2010 Architectural design concept is approved.

Fall 2010 – Spring 2011 Greg Robinson is hired as executive director; interior plans for Phase I (Auditorium and Classroom Building) are finalized, Board committees expand, and BIMA’s Capital Campaign Committee is formed.

Summer 2011 Phase I (Auditorium and Classrooms) opens, and site excavation for Phase II (new Art Museum) begins.

Fall 2011 – Winter 2013 Capital Campaign and Marketing Committee efforts expand to include community receptions, Chalk Walk, presentations and outreach in the West Sound region, educational events including Billy Collins (former U.S. Poet Laureate), and receptions for early supporters including Hard Hat Weekend.

hen Cynthia Sears moved to Bainbridge Island from California in the 1980s, she found herself enthralled with the vibrant art scene.

“I couldn’t believe the art that was being made here,” said Sears, founder of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. “People would tell me about artists and I’d ask ‘Where can I find them?’ And they’d answer ‘Umm…I think there might be a show next year.’ I became very frustrated that I couldn’t see the works of these local artists.”

Sears thought about renting a storefront on Winslow Way and using the space to hold art shows. But the logistics seemed difficult and artists weren’t keen on lending art to a space that didn’t have the proper environmental and security features in place.

Sears found her solution thanks to a hint from her daughter who raises and trains horses.

“She said, ‘Mom, if you want people to bring you their horses, you first have to show them that you have a decent barn.’ So we have built our ‘barn’ and now we are inviting people to bring us their ‘horses’,” Sears said.

The barn – er, museum – is a $12.9 million facility standing on the corner of Winslow Way and Highway 305 on Bainbridge Island.

“The building alone is fabulous,” said Frank Buxton, Sears’ husband.

“But once the art is in there, it’s going to be such a treasure!”

The process has been long, and Sears has stood her ground to provide the community with a “living room for art.” It was important to Sears to build a place where works of the imagination would be accessible to everyone.

“A lot of people I talked with asked me that if we have such wonderful art galleries – and we do! – why do we need a museum? My answer is: If you have lots of great bookstores, why do you need a library? It’s all about public access,” Sears said.

Because there is no admission fee to the museum, Sears hopes people stop by often.

“You don’t have to wait until it’s

Founding Board Members, Steve Davis and David Lewis revealing site plan on May 1, 2010. worth spending the money on admission,” Sears said. “Drop in and look at a couple of things. You don’t have to feel like you need to see it all at once.”

Sears envisions downtown employees visiting the museum over their lunch hour. Or people taking a detour to the museum on the way to and from the ferry.

“There is a perception that when you say museum admission is free, that it’s well endowed and doesn’t need support,” said Greg Robinson, executive director and curator of the museum.

“We don’t have a big endowment fund, we just want to be as inviting to the public as we can be, and we’ll seek sponsorships to help make that possible.

“It’s not that we don’t need the money, we just hope to attract members and patrons who share this value of accessibility for the community,” Robinson added.

The museum is counting on corporate sponsors, support SM

from foundations, as well as individual and family memberships.

There will also be donations taken onsite.

Sears pointed out that admissions to art museums in Dallas, Washington D.C., and throughout Europe are already free. It is her hope that when visitors see the exceptional quality and range of art produced regionally, they will recognize its worth and support both the museum and the artists it presents.

Sears is an avid art collector, and some of her personal collection will be displayed in the museum. When asked about her connection to art, Sears paused before answering. “It’s not as important as breathing, but it comes pretty close,” she said. “It’s so fundamental to my life.”

Sears believes it is human nature for people to pay more attention to things they know are valued by others. Thus, when artworks hang in a museum show, viewers are more likely to give them the serious consideration they deserve.

“When a painting is finished, you put a frame around it,” Sears said. “For me, the work of our region deserves a frame. And that’s the museum.”

argie McDonald bounced into her 1950s pink trailer studio, and emerged with wire sea creatures streaming behind her. The art looked both whimsical and realistic – like the wacky animals from the abyss.

“To me, the weirder the sea creature, the better,” said the Port Townsend artist.

McDonald works predominately with recycled materials and, under her creative touch, old pastel spools of switchboard wire become jellyfish-like. And a 1940s rain gutter turns into an underwater serpent.

These bizarre-looking marine creatures will hang in the Beacon Gallery of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, an honor this artist can hardly believe. She recalls jumping up and down and squealing with excitement when she was chosen to show her work in such a high-caliber museum.

“So much about getting into the Seattle art scene is about knowing the right people. But if you’re holed up in the woods just making art, you aren’t going to get to know them,” she said. “I’m truly honored to have my work in this beautiful new museum.”

“I’m truly honored to have my work in this beautiful new museum.” Margie McDonald

Enigma - Barbara Helen Berger Acrylic on canvas Part of the museum’s mission is to highlight the art and craft produced in this region from both emerging artists like McDonald and established artists like Barbara Helen Berger.

A survey of Berger’s work spanning 40 years will grace the MESA Gallery. Berger is known for writing and illustrating soothing children’s books, including “Grandfather Twilight.” Original paintings from her books will be on display, as well as older paintings and newer collage pieces and sculptures.

The longtime Bainbridge Island resident said she’s excited about having a place to view art from a wide range of artists.

“There is something about a museum that lends respect and importance to what’s in it,” Berger said. “It will shine light on the wonderful artists that are over here.”

Sears has an affinity for these one-of-a-kind books that are both sculptures and stories, and she’s sharing her collection with the museum. Under the guidance of a docent, visitors will have the opportunity for an intimate experience, viewing and learning about the selected art.

Another strong representation of truly local, homegrown art is housed in the Steve & Harriet Davis Community Gallery where works from Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation instructors will be displayed.

Whether visitors come and see all the exhibits, or just a select few, Robinson said there is not a “one-size-fits-all” experience.

“Some people will be coming without much knowledge of the art in our region. They’ll come curious and we hope to stimulate an interest in art,” he said. “Others will come with much more experience – the tried-and-true audiences – and I hope they meet new artists and leave with a better sense of the people who live and work right here in Puget Sound.”

will rotate its permanent art collection. Greg Robinson, museum executive director and curator, said the museum is in the early stages of acquiring works.

“It’s going to be a slow and deliberate process,” Robinson said. “We are just starting the conversation with the art world about potential gifts.” The museum doesn’t have an acquisition budget, so we won’t be buying art, but will be accepting gifts.

Upstairs in the Rachel Feferman Gallery, Robinson has choreographed an eclectic show.

“I’ve asked six people to guest curate the show with me,” he said. “It’s not that I’m lazy, but when you start a new regional art museum like this, I think it’s really important that it’s not just one person’s point of view or preference.”

The show will be a sampling of diverse artists, styles, and statements, including sculpture by Julie Speidel, musical instruments crafted from repurposed objects by Steve Einhorn, and ceramics by Anne Hirondelle.

In the Sherry Grover Gallery, patrons will enjoy an artist’s book collection like no other in our region. Museum founder Cynthia

Buxton, a performer and avid movie buff, couldn’t fathom a museum without a place for lectures, readings and film screenings.

For the optimal visitor experience, the auditorium was designed with ample legroom and Buxton “test-sat” multiple seats before settling on what he described as “the most comfortable theater chair.”

hen I hear people talk about the opening of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, I envision a living organization animated by a curious and engaged population. The Education Program embraces such life, taking to heart the many possibilities for engaging “a diverse population with the art and craft of our region and our time,” and crafting experiences that support the core of the museum’s mission. In truth, the potential for discovery resides within all aspects of the museum, from changing exhibits and the permanent art collection to special events and partnerships with other organizations. And the promise of art that catalyzes firsthand experience, inquiry, and conversation shapes the direction of the art museum’s Education Program.

COMMUNITY: PASSIONATE HEARTS Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is a community initiative: crafted by and for our local and regional constituents, committed to lifelong learning and engaging diverse audiences in a variety of opportunities. As we embark on the development of our vision for a robust program, our first effort aims at educating ourselves about the needs and expectations of the community. How can we best serve and work together?

Our process begins by being good listeners. The Education Committee, the art museum’s body of volunteers representing the broader education community, has recommended that learning about what other organizations offer will help us shape relevant programs that support partnerships and avoid duplication and competition. One of our first priorities is to 28 BAINBRIDGE ISLAND MUSEUM OF ART ▲ SPRING 2013

cultivate a Community Education Survey in the hopes of better understanding ways in which the art museum can work within our community.

Bill Baran-Mickle, the Chair of the Education Committee, summarizes the survey’s intent here: “We are taking the temperature of arts education offerings in the immediate environs and surrounding counties. We are creating an inventory of sorts, investigating offerings from institutions large to small, including individual artists offering classes in their own studios.

“Our goal is to understand what exists and is thriving, what the community feels is missing, and what elements our region needs and wants. This knowledge will enable us to make the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art’s offerings unique. The results of the survey -- which is being conducted primarily through conversational interviews -- will be shared with the public so that we see as a regional collective what education resources we

Congratulations BIMA for opening your doors to our community.

You have created a special hub to promote, educate, and share art. We are proud to be a part of this community.

Summer Camp, BIMA Classroom have. This information will help us create dynamic educational experiences and partnerships in the arts for all ages. We are in the midst of an exciting opportunity for community engagement.”

DOCENTS: CURIOUS MINDS Engagement is a key component of the Docent Program as well. Docents at BIMA will help perform one of the most important volunteer functions of the art museum: introducing and deepening the experience of the museum and its place in the community for visitors of all ages. Offering their energy and expertise as the front-face of the new museum, they will form an essential part of the museum’s vitality.

Docents will also be liaisons to the exhibits, sharing firsthand knowledge about local art, interpreting works by emerging and established artists and craftspeople represented in changing exhibits and the permanent art collection, and inviting the public to become curious and informed viewers. They will be professionally trained in techniques – including Visual Thinking Strategies – that encourage looking at and responding to art, that serve to cultivate conversation, that gently unfold the development of critical thinking and descriptive language.

Representing a wide range of backgrounds and interests, the docents will extend their enthusiasm for art and learning to the public.

In addition to their role as museum ambassadors, docents will offer information about current events and happenings within the City of Bainbridge and beyond. Sharing knowledge will support the collaborative nature of the art museum’s efforts, and will underscore the connection of art to many other ventures – environmental, cultural, business, and more -- within the region.

PROGRAMS: EMBRACING ARMS The ultimate goal of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is to be a good neighbor: welcoming, authentic, intelligent and vital. Just as the changing exhibits and permanent art collection serve to enliven the structure of the museum, programs spark the fire of the education program and create the means of connecting with constituents. We anticipate a carefully crafted array of offerings, including artist talks, school group visits, tours, panel discussions, film and video series, print and digital publications, and hands-on art experiences to reach a broad audience. The content of our educational programmatic offerings are being thoughtfully cultivated to support the museum’s mission.

Many of our internal programs will be activated or augmented through partnerships with community organizations, including not-for-profits, schools and businesses. Our work in tandem with the Kids Discovery Museum is one such connection.

Director Susie Burdick explains, “Kids Discovery Museum is thrilled to be partnering with the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art on education for children, between the two of us covering a continuum of levels of learning. The littlest patrons build their foundation with us and ‘graduate’ to the art museum as they grow, presenting a perfect synergy between two valuable community resources.” By developing tangible educational tools that capitalize on our shared educational campus, we create a bridge from the early childhood focus of their museum to the art focus of ours.

School and out-of-school partnerships will help shape our youth program too, which will center on supporting demonstrated classroom teacher and student learning needs. The art museum is uniquely poised to generate programs that bolster STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and Common Core Initiatives through deep Winslow Art Center Figure Drawing Class, BIMA Classroom

connections to arts learning, both via professional development and program opportunities. Continuing education will also be supported: a link with the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentorship program will encourage lifelong learning opportunities that join the efforts of artists, schools, and the art museum.

Connections throughout the region are being explored.The Bainbridge Island Historical Museum presents an historic lens through which to consider the roots of our local art story.

Continuing adult education opportunities are also being pursued through shared film series with the Port Townsend Film Institute.

A symbiotic relationship supporting education and community outreach is developing with Olympic College as well.

These are just a few programs under development that support the real needs of the community, and by extension stand the best chance for long-term sustainability. The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is a living body that aims to thrive in its community. By nurturing and growing a strong education program, the museum will remain vital for years to come.
