Thousands of drivers and pedestrians coming to Bainbridge Island by ferry every day are welcomed by Suquamish artist Kate Ahvakana’s two-story display filling the massive window of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Ahvakana’s display is just the start. Inside the museum are a wide range of Suquamish and other Salish Sea artists featured as part of BIMA’s Indigenous Strength & Wellness exhibit running until June 4. Co-curated by Suquamish Foundation Director Robin Little Wing Sigo, the exhibit showcases the work of Denita and Joey Holmes, Peg Deam, Danielle Morsette, and Toma Villa, just to name a few.
