On Bainbridge Island, JG Art Gallery opened Beyond Paint on Nov. 6, and the show runs through Dec. 3.[^1] The gallery sits at 176 Winslow Way East.[^2] It holds 31 works.[^3] The exhibiting artists are Elizabeth Hilton, Tamera Abaté, Lisa Whitwell and Shaun Heslop.[^4]

## The rule of the show

The detail to carry into the room is the one the title points at. The works exclude acrylic and gesso on purpose.[^5] Stand close to any surface and look at what is there instead. The gallery is open noon to 5 every day except Tuesday.[^6] Any work can be paid for in three interest-free installments.[^7]

## Up the street at BIMA

A few blocks away, the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is between seasons. Día de los Muertos runs Nov. 7 to Nov. 15.[^8] Three fall shows stay up into the new year. Patricia Orellana: Within Reach and Pratt Fine Arts Center @ 50 both run through Jan. 31, 2027.[^9][^10] Booking: Artists' Books by Black Artists runs through Feb. 21, 2027.[^11] The museum keeps a standing display of artists' books.[^12]

The next pair opens Nov. 21. Heikki Seppä: Master Metalsmith runs Nov. 21 to Feb. 28, 2027.[^13] Samuel Spurrier: All the Flowers runs the same dates.[^14] Indigenous Craft, which had run since July, closed Nov. 1.[^15] BIMA holds a curated regional permanent collection.[^16]

## Words at the BARN

The island's makerspace joins in the same week. BARN, at 8890 Three Tree Lane NE, is a makerspace and a learning place.[^17][^18] It has eleven fully equipped studios.[^19] Its mission is an open, intergenerational artisan community.[^20] The Story Island Writers' Conference runs there Nov. 13 to 15.[^21]

## A walk for the week

Start at JG on Winslow Way and count the 31 works.[^3] Walk to BIMA before the Día de los Muertos show closes Nov. 15.[^8] Come back Nov. 21 for the metalsmith and the flowers.[^13][^14] In between, the writers are at the BARN.[^21]
