As part of its “Breathe” group exhibition inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is featuring in its Winslow Way window a 16′ x 8′ acrylic on canvas painting by Seattle native, Michelle Kumata. The massive work is part of a larger collection referencing the history of Bellevue Nikkei, from the early farmers, through the WWII forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, to the younger generations.
