Examples of funding opportunities that were approved in 2008 >>

Funding recommendations are made by a multi-discipline panel that reviews applications and work samples. This review panel changes every year. Awards range from $500 to $5000, with funding in the $1000-$3000 range most typical.

The panel is selected by a six member Bainbridge Island Arts and Humanities Fund Committee that oversees policies and procedures governing the Fund. Current committee members are: Gerald Young (Chair and BIAHC Board Director), Dick Dearsley, Sam Granato, Eileen Nicol, Jim Quitslund, and Erica Varga.

This program is funded by the City of Bainbridge Island, managed by BIAHC and staffed by Program Manager Janice Shaw.
