BIMA’s collection of contemporary art and craft of the Puget Sound region has grown slowly and deliberately over the first ten years. 2024 marks a time of reflection and expansion, as we ponder what the future Permanent Art Collection should hold. Enjoy a diverse range of art and craft, and engage with BIMA on this artistic and cultural journey.

Artists include Jenny Andersen, Alfredo Arreguín, Gayle Bard, Ross Palmer Beecher, John Cole, Georgia Gerber, Richard Gilkey, Karen Hackenberg, Jan Hoy, Maynard Johnny, Jr., George & David Lewis, Philip McCracken, Jenny Pohlman & Sabrina Knowles, Paul Rucker, and Heikki Seppa.
