Imagine larger-than-life sculpture, interactive installations, and artworks made out of materials as varied as steel, seaweed, and eggshells. All of these and more are displayed within a short three-quarter mile walking route, connecting City Hall with Downtown Park. Put on your sneakers, grab your smart phone, and take in the uniqueness of this exhibition. Themed "connect," Bellwether invites viewers to reflect upon how we connect to community, nature, and to one another.

 

A new free mobile app, STQRY, provides easy access to the stories behind the art and opportunities to share in the conversation through Facebook. Art Walk maps are available throughout downtown Bellevue.

 

Free guided tours are available for groups of eight or more. To make a request at least 2 weeks in advance, email Mary Pat Byrne.

 

Participating artists include Canadian mixed-media artist Junichiro Iwase, Seattle's Elizabeth Gahan, and Portland's Mike Rathbun, among others.

 

 

Bellwether 2014: Connect, organized by the City of Bellevue Arts Program, is the 12th edition of the exhibition. In addition to the biennial, there are 120 year-round public art works on view throughout Bellevue, making it one of the most art-friendly cities in the region.
