Weather delays may have postponed Bellevue's City Hall celebration of Black artists, but the reception bounces back with new verve set for Wednesday, Feb. 19. The city is gearing up to open "Voices Unbounded" properly, an exhibit putting the spotlight on 21 Pacific Northwest Black artists. The event, which was to happen last Wednesday, was nudged on account of the unforgiving winter chill. In a committed move to honor these voices, the city is set to finally roll out the welcome at the rescheduled 6-8 p.m. event, according to a press release from the City of Bellevue.

Curated by MG2 architect Jay Taylor, the exhibition brings to life an array of creative expressions, including paintings, photography, sculptures, textiles, and fashion. It's a vast canvas showcasing Black creativity's rich and diverse fabric. Bellevue's celebration comes as part of Black History Month, an act to acknowledge and amplify the often marginalized narratives within our history.

For those intrigued and looking to plunge into this cultural showcase, "Voices Unbounded" occupies the corridors of City Hall throughout February and March. Stepping into these spaces during business hours—8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday—will allow visitors to immerse themselves in this curated collection of Black artistry. The exhibit also remains open to the public during evening meetings or events held in the building, providing an extended opportunity for dialogue and discovery.
