ReFashion Mystery Challenge Entrants Sew-in Day Sunday, March 29, 10am-5pm BARN Those entered in the Mystery Challenge category of the ReFashion Show will begin creating their garment on this day.
Bainbridge Arts & Crafts Exhibit: Tossed & Found April 3-April 27 Bainbridge Arts & Crafts, 151 Winslow Way E
Imagination and resourcefulness are on display this spring, when 10 artists known for their use of recycled, reused and repurposed materials celebrate Earth Month 2026 in BAC’s exhibition, Tossed & Found, April 3-26. Come open the show with us on Friday, April 3, 6-8pm and toast the artists with a pour of Amelia Wynn wine.
Expect the unexpected, playfulness, pointed comment, and technical mastery in work that helps us look at our everyday world in new and unique ways: Joanne Bohannon’s totemic crows and owls, David Dickhut’s quirky people, Lynn DiNino’s imaginative and hilarious narratives, Denise Harris’ witty small scale masterpieces, Steve Parmelee’s surprising and successful juxtapositions, Loran Scruggs’ tin homages to a world at risk, Kathy Ross’ gorgeously obsessive mosaics, and Margie McDonald’s non-representational wire and found object sculpture. Apparel presents another opportunity for reinvention and reuse, as seen in Tyler Andersen’s handbags made from shoes, and wearables by artists from ReFashion Bainbridge 2026.
Panel Talk: 10 Years of ReFashion's Inspiration, Invitation & Creation Bainbridge Island Museum of Art 550 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island Sunday, April 12, 3:00-5:00pm Tickets coming soon!
Craft can be a tool for change—one stitch, garment, and reclaimed material at a time. Artists who work with repurposed materials understand this firsthand, and a panel of sustainable artists and community leaders will gather in the Frank Buxton auditorium to discuss how making can contribute to a more thoughtful future. The panelists, who are all involved with the upcoming ReFashion Show, will share the history of this show, their creative processes, the environmental urgency behind textile waste, and how refashioning opens up new pathways for expression, community connection, and sustainable futures. Plus, in honor of Handwork 2026, we will examine how handwork, repurposing, and resourcefulness shape the ReFashion Show, now in its 10th year, and the broader story of craft today. Tickets coming soon.
