Multiple modes of art-making will be available, including self-guided stations, ongoing collaborations, and guided arts experiences rooted in presence, gratitude, and storytelling.

Katherine “Kay” Hornick, born on Tuesday, January 2, 1940, in Chelan, WA, passed away on Saturday, June 20, 2026, after several months of care at Bainbridge Island Health & Rehabilitation.

Kay’s lifelong passion was fine art; she was an accomplished artist and painter. This passion gave her the honor and privilege of operating the Traveling Gallery and Kay Hornick Studios, and having her work displayed at the Frye Art Museum. She was part of Bainbridge Arts and Crafts for many years.

She was an incredible person to all who had the privilege of knowing her and having her as a part of their lives in the 86 years she graced our world. She has been and always will be a special, inspiring person with a golden heart.

Bring your kids and grandkids as we kick off our NEW CHILDREN’S PROGRAM! This year, we’re doing some things differently by building volunteer teams to lead rotating offerings of art, drama, music, games, and faith foundations—along with our traditions of ritual and storytelling.

We’d love to have your help on any of those teams. If you’re interested in getting involved, please email Kim Cockroft, Director of Faith Formation.

We’re looking forward to launching a brand-new year of exciting programs!
