What's Happening in Bellevue, WA…

The Bellevue Art Museum is now open to the public and has three new exhibits in its galleries on the first and second floors.

Museums often use poster printing to promote such openings and exhibits.

One exhibit is created and was curated by teenagers and explores how teenagers have reflected on, participated in, and redefined liberation at the present time. Called “20 Under 20: Liberation,” the exhibit can be seen in the Community Education Gallery of the museum and will run through Sunday April 11.

Another exhibit is a traveling exhibition that uses the craft of hand papermaking to focus on contemporary issues. Called “Pulped Under Pressure: The Art of Handmade Paper,” the exhibit has over 30 pieces from seven artists who use hand papermaking for engaging in social issues and are trying to push the boundaries of the medium. The other exhibit features all 225 ink drawings created by Piotr Szyhalski which were made responding to the coronavirus pandemic and many protests which took place during last year throughout the United States. Both exhibits run through Sunday July 4.

“Yellow No. 5” is an ongoing exhibit that features the work of nine artists in the region who look humorously and critically at consumerism and culture and how the two forces often work in tandem to conceal their connection.
