‘Women in the Abstract’ concludes run at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts

This weekend marks the final chance to see artwork by Merrilee Moore and “Women in the Abstract” at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts.

The two exhibitions conclude on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Moore, a glass artist, forms each of her pieces with a bold, impeccable flourish. Her shapes are confident, her variety of colors is endless, and every item energetically punctuates the space it occupies.

Form, shape, color and texture can challenge and mesmerize when freed from the anchor of representation. In “Women in the Abstract,” a powerhouse group of women artists invites all to revel in a profusion of abstraction.

Artists include Carole Barrer, Marilyn Bergstrom, Caroline Cooley Browne, Leah Clark, Marcella Diamond, Kate Dwyer, Jeannie Grisham, Victoria Harrison, Barbara Kowalski, Suzy Kueckelhan, Kari Bergstrom MacKenzie, Elizabeth Moga, Jeane Myers, MJ Orcutt, Joan Stuart Ross, Lynda Rickey, Selene Santucci, Barbara Lee Smith, Sharon Strauss, Diane Walker, Helga Winter, Cathy Woo and Barbara Zander.

A nonprofit art gallery founded in 1948, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts encourages the creation and appreciation of fine contemporary art and craft by exhibiting and selling the work of Northwest artists, and by offering art education to a county-wide audience of all ages.

Bainbridge Arts & Crafts is located at 151 Winslow Way E.
