Joel Sackett will present a series of photographs from his forthcoming book on farming in the area, titled “Air, Water, and Soil: Local Farmers on a Changing Environment.” An opening reception will be held at Bainbridge Performing Arts on April 1, and the photographs will be available for viewing in the gallery all month long.
Email-a-tree is a program by Elisabeth Robson and Olaf Ribeiro, in conjunction with the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District.
Along with Olaf’s presentation about trees (April 23), you will be able to email special trees around the island during April. Each tree has been assigned an email address and will be receiving emails all month long. You might even get a reply!
To see which trees will be receiving emails and where they are located, check out the Email-a-tree page.
To get the email address of a tree, you must visit the tree in person. Please don’t forget to say hello to the tree while you are there.
We will be gathering emails sent to the trees and featuring them on the web site during and after April. If you would like to organize a walking tour of the trees, please contact Olaf Ribeiro.

The Bainbridge Island Photo Club presents images by Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Selgado in the main hall of the BI Community Center during the month of April. Selgado documents the human condition around the world. His high contrast black and white images are rich in the powerful stories they tell, their textural qualities and their composition. The club will discuss how this photographer explores man’s impact on the environment, the raw beauty of our planet, and tells his personal journey in support of healing the planet through his art.
The Photo Club will be showing The Salt of the Earth: The Photo Work of Brazilian Sabastiao Selgado, an Academy Award nominated film about Selgado, on April 27.
Island Theatre will present a staged play reading of Edward Albee’s Seascape for its Earth Art Bainbridge program. Written in the seventies, the play asks the question, “Are an evolving species or perhaps a devolving one?” It was awarded the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
More information about the play is at http://edwardalbeesociety.org/works/seascape/.
The free Island Theatre production will take place on April 16 & 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bainbridge Public Library. It will be directed by Steve Stolee.

A presentation by Dan Kowalski
Fostering a Sense of Place boils down to coming into relationship with where we live. The best qualities of being human come to play: a sense of curiosity, discovery, aesthetics, stewardship, deepening knowledge–love. Home can scale anywhere from a neighborhood all the way out to Planet Earth. My focus is our Cascadia bioregion. Together we’ll explore aspects of our bioregion with a particular emphasis on Alaskan glaciers.
Kathryn Keve will present her book, Under the Sun, a book about how beautiful and precious the Earth is and ends with the question: what can we do to stop the plunder?
The book will be available at Eagle Harbor Books from April 22-25. Kathryn will be at Eagle Harbor Books from 5-7 pm on Friday April 22.
