Bellevue presents Black History Month exhibit at City Hall

In celebration of Black History Month, the City of Bellevue will present "Voices Unbounded," an art exhibit featuring the work of 21 Pacific Northwest Black artists. The exhibit will be presented at City Hall in February and March. MG2 architect Jay Taylor curated the exhibit, which will include paintings, photography, sculptures, textiles and fashion.

Visitors can view the exhibit during business hours, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and evenings when City Hall is open for public meetings or events.

The community is invited to an opening reception for the exhibit on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 6-8 p.m., at City Hall, 450 110th Ave. NE. Registration is required.

"We are proud to again work with MG2 and Onyx Art Gallery to celebrate Black History Month with an art exhibit at City Hall," said Dr. Linda Whitehead, chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer. "Black art is a lasting symbol of Black culture. Through this exhibit, we are highlighting the profound impact of Black art and its role in shaping cultural identity."
