about
Bellwether
A bellwether is a sign of things to come. The name was chosen as a symbol of the overarching mission of the event: to showcase Bellevue’s creative future and to turn that future into reality.
Bellwether is a free multi-disciplinary arts experience produced by the City of Bellevue in collaboration with Bellevue’s arts community and with guidance from the city’s Arts Commission.
Bellwether got its start as a biennial sculpture exhibition in 1992. Now in its 17th series, the event has evolved to encompass new forms of art and culture. Since 2018, Bellwether is held every year to harness the city’s growth and support artists year-round.
Bellwether is produced by the City of Bellevue and presented in partnership with the city's Arts Commission.
