Oil & Water Has been Elevated
Artists on Bainbridge Island wondering what happened to Oil &
Water art supplies just need to go to the old location and look up.
They’ve moved on to the next story.
I talked with Pam Christiansen, who is the head of the Creativity
Center there associated with Oil & Water. She tells me that they
made the move upstairs not because it’s a bigger space but because
it’s a more focused space. Now it’s located right next to the
Creativity Center classrooms. Christiansen started the Creativity
Center three years ago; in June the center merged with Oil & Water.
“We had the same vision and ideas,” she said. Moving downtown to
the Winslow Mall was “great because people can come over from
Seattle. It’s centrally located,” she said.
The Creativity Center now has 16 faculty members who teach classes in most mediums, including oil, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, multimedia and drawing for both adults and children. They run labs with nude models every Thursday night, and even have an off-site sculpture class.
New sessions begin this month. You can get information here: oilandwaterarts.com/classes.html.
Thanks to all the folks who helped with the move up and to all our customers for making
Oil & Water Arts such a success! Come to our celebration party on Feb 19 from 7-10:00 pm.
Hope to see you here.
Cheers!
