Artist Spotlight: Dan Friday

The other half of our current exhibition, Dan Friday Raya Friday, Dan Friday is a Lummi Nation artist based in the Skagit Valley who has spent the last 30 years creating works in glass.

Drawing inspiration from his Coast Salish heritage, Friday’s work often combines simple forms, powerful imagery, and storytelling. His glass sculptures and totems explore both personal narratives and cultural connections, transforming traditional themes into striking contemporary works.

Over the course of his career, Friday has taught at institutions including Pilchuck Glass School, the University of Washington, Evergreen State College, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. In 2017, he founded Pilchuck’s Native Youth Outreach Program, helping create opportunities for the next generation of Indigenous artists.

Friday’s work has been exhibited internationally, and he has received numerous honors for his artistic contributions. Some may also recognize him from the Netflix series Blown Away.

From Dan Friday: “Living as an artist may not be directly saving the world, but perhaps we are saving ourselves and hopefully, in the process, making the world a better place.”

Visit the gallery to experience Dan Friday’s stunning work in person.

Dan Friday Raya Friday is on view through June 28.

📣Artist Spotlight: Raya Friday

Alongside her brother, Dan Friday, Raya Friday is one of two artists featured in our current exhibition, Dan Friday Raya Friday.

A member of the Lummi Nation, Friday developed a passion for the arts at an early age. Although glass was not her first artistic focus, she was introduced to the medium at a young age and would later build a career exploring its expressive potential. Her journey led her to study glass sculpture, work at the Corning Museum of Glass, and later pursue Indigenous Studies through Evergreen State College’s Native Pathways Program.

Now based in the Pacific Northwest, Friday creates glass sculptures inspired by her connection to the Salish Sea, her community, and her cultural heritage. Through her work, she reflects on both historical and contemporary Indigenous experiences, using the unique qualities of glass to create pieces that are thoughtful, powerful, and deeply resonant.

Visit the gallery to experience her remarkable work in person.

Dan Friday Raya Friday is on view through June 28.

Moments from our community art programs! 🎨✨

From a creative rock-painting outreach session to participants discovering the meditative practice of Sumi-e under the guidance of Lois Yoshida (while surrounded by student art!), it’s been inspiring to see so many people creating, learning, and exploring art together.

Through outreach programs, workshops, and exhibitions, we’re proud to offer opportunities for people of all ages to connect with art, learn new skills, and express their creativity.

Thank you to everyone who participated, and to the supporters who help make these meaningful community art experiences possible. 💛

We can’t wait to share more opportunities to create, learn, and connect through art—stay tuned!

From free artist talks to hands-on workshops like our recent Sumi painting class, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts creates opportunities for our community to learn, create, and connect through art all year long. 🎨

That’s why we’re participating in Bainbridge Gives, an annual community giving campaign that supports local nonprofits through Bainbridge Community Foundation’s Community Grants Cycle. Every application is reviewed and approved by trained community volunteers, so you can give with confidence knowing your contribution is supporting meaningful, community-backed work.

When you give to Bainbridge Arts & Crafts through Bainbridge Gives, every dollar goes directly toward year-round educational programs, outreach efforts, exhibitions, and creative opportunities that make the arts more accessible and engaging for our community.

If you’ve attended a workshop, discovered a new artist, found inspiration in our gallery, or simply believe in the power of the arts, we’d be grateful for your support.💛
