Bellwether 2022 Celebrates the Power of Art and Technology

Bellevue, WALocal News

Bellwether 2022 focuses on the dynamic fusion of art and technology in Downtown Bellevue. A standout feature is the augmented reality installation #GLITCHGODDESS by artist Marjan Moghaddam, which allows viewers to interact with art via their mobile devices. Arts Community Manager Lore Hoffman emphasizes Bellevue's tech hub status and the importance of merging cultural experiences with technology. Having transitioned from a biennial to an annual event over nearly two decades, the festival reflects the city’s evolving artistic landscape. This year, attendees can expect engaging programs, including digital residencies showcasing videos and AI-generated designs, all offered for free to eliminate barriers to art access and encourage community participation.

The Bellwether initiative supports local artists and invites the public to explore innovative artistic expressions. For more details, visit Bellwether's website.
