A special end of year message from Bainbridge Island Museum of Art Executive Director Sheila Hughes. 2024 was an incredible year at BIMA, and we could not have done it without the support of our wonderful community. Thank you all, and happy holidays!

BIMA’s members, donors, volunteers, artists, and supporters are the reason that this small regional museum has achieved so much in such a short time. We’re extremely proud to share our online 2023 Annual Report to the Community, a year where our regional impact, support to artists, and commitment to community reached an all-time high. 

The photos and stories capture extraordinary memories of this ‘Year of Appreciation,’ especially to you, our closest supporters and dearest friends. Enjoy this snapshot of your community investment in action — helping BIMA make waves in ways we never would have imagined ten years ago. 

Thank you for your continued friendship, support, and encouragement!

Sheila Hughes

BIMA Executive Director
