Voices Unbounded exhibit features Black Northwest artists

In celebration of Black History Month, Bellevue will host the "Voices Unbounded" art exhibit featuring the work of 21 Pacific Northwest Black artists. Curated by MG2 architect Jay Taylor, this exhibit will present a rich array of artistic expressions, including paintings, photography, sculptures, textiles, and fashion. Visitors can experience the exhibit at City Hall during normal business hours and during public meetings in the evenings. While an opening reception was scheduled for February 5, it has been postponed due to inclement weather, with further details to be announced. Dr. Linda Whitehead, the chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer, remarked on the significance of Black art in reflecting and shaping cultural identity. The community is encouraged to register for the reception, highlighting the city's commitment to celebrating diversity through the arts. This exhibit serves as a platform for Black artists to showcase their work and the profound impact of their contributions to the cultural landscape. The City of Bellevue aims to foster inclusivity and appreciation for Black culture through this initiative.
