BAC exhibit

Bainbridge Arts & Crafts is hosting a special exhibit Aug. 7 from 6-8 p.m. of photos by children from Fotokids, a Guatemala-based nonprofit that serves at-risk children affected by poverty and violence by giving them a chance to learn photography, graphic design, media technology, and vocational skills. The exhibit runs through Aug. 23.

There will be a free informational program Aug. 8 at 11 a.m. with Fotokids executive director Evelyn Mansilla, communications director Berlin Jurez, both Fotokids graduates, and Bainbridge Island-based board member Kami Lee.

A free after-hours reception with the Fotokids representatives takes place Aug. 9 at 5 p.m. Space is limited; reservations can be made by calling Bainbridge Arts & Crafts at 206-842-3132 or on the BAC website.

IslandWood author event

Author and journalist Richard Louv will be at IslandWood Aug. 13 from 6:30-8 p.m. to celebrate his newest book, Noticing: Intimate Encounters With Nature.

Louv will be sitting down with Bainbridge Island’s own Howard Frumkin—physician, epidemiologist, and University of Washington professor emeritus—for a conversation on the deep connection between nature, health, and community, a news release says.

After the talk, attendees can get their fresh book copy signed, meet Louv, and mingle with fellow nature lovers.
