WASHINGTON – BRAVA Awards
Now in their fourth year, the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art BRAVA Awards honor artists in four categories. Inspired by BIMA founder Cynthia Spears, the awards are de- cided by independent jury panels and are accompanied by $15,000 in unrestricted funding. As of this Inge Bruggeman year, BRAVAs are given annually in support of artists and their creative endeavors. Congratulations to this year’s winners: Gabriel Zea of Seattle (Emerging Artist, Puget Sound Region); RYAN! Feddersen of Tacoma (Native American & First Nations Artist, Salish Sea Region); Inge Bruggeman of Berkeley, CA (Artists’ Book Artist, United States); and Priscilla Dobson Dzul (Ceramics Artist, Puget Sound Region).
