Bainbridge Island Museum of Art
Application Open: April 1st- May 11th, 2025
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) is proud to announce the return of its significant biennial award program, the BRAVA Awards (BIMA Recognizes Achievement in the Visual Arts). The awards will honor four exceptional contemporary artists, craftspeople, or makers whose work demonstrates artistic excellence, technical mastery, and meaningful contributions to the arts community. The awards will be presented in four categories, recognizing individual achievement and the broader impact these artists have had on the arts landscape.
The award was inspired by the values and vision of museum founder Cynthia Sears, who has been a passionate advocate for a world that supports, respects, and honors artists, craftspeople, and creative makers. The awards are designed to make a direct and significant difference in the lives of contemporary working artists and craftspeople, as well as a lasting impact on the arts landscape of our region and beyond. Each artist selected in one of four categories will receive an unrestricted award of $15,000.
