Bellevue is celebrating Black History Month with a special art exhibit, “Voices Unbounded,” showcasing the work of 21 Black artists from the Pacific Northwest. Curated by MG2 architect Jay Taylor, the exhibit features a variety of artistic expressions, including paintings, photography, sculptures, textiles, and fashion. It will be on display at City Hall throughout February and March.
Visitors can explore the exhibit during business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as in the evenings when City Hall hosts public meetings or events. To officially launch the exhibit, the city is hosting an opening reception on Wednesday, Feb. 5, from 6-8 p.m. at City Hall (450 110th Ave. NE). The event is free, but registration is required.
Dr. Linda Whitehead, Bellevue’s chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer, emphasized the significance of the exhibit, stating, “Black art is a powerful symbol of Black culture. Through this exhibit, we celebrate its impact and role in shaping cultural identity.”
This exhibit provides a unique opportunity for the community to recognize the influence of Black artists in the region.
