A large-scale solo exhibition in a museum setting is a great honor for any artist.

Occasionally, though, it is the museum that is privileged to host such an event.

Such is the case this month, said Bainbridge Island Museum of Art executive director and curator Greg Robinson, with the opening of “Heaven On Fire,” a 30-year survey of paintings, prints and newer works in glass and paper by the peerless Barbara Earl Thomas.

Thomas — recently called “a legend worth the title” by the Stranger — is a Seattle based-artist and writer perhaps best known as the founding director of the Northwest African American Museum.
