Hello
and
welcome
to
Lake
to
Lake
a
show
about
our
beautiful
city
of
Bellevue
I'm,
your
host
Lori
Hoffman,
Arts
manager
for
the
city
on
today's
episode.
We're
going
to
focus
on
the
Arts
in
Bellevue.
Arts
are
core
element
of
bellevue's
character
and
a
vital
element
of
any
well-rounded
Community.
Arts
abound
here
at
Bellevue
city
hall,
but
public
art
isn't
something
that
should
only
exist
inside
City
facilities.
It
should
also
be
seen
throughout
our
community
and
in
our
daily
lives.
Public
art
is
how
we
celebrate
our
achievements,
reflect
on
the
past
and
imagine
the
future.
A
It
is
the
measure
of
us
as
a
society
and
how
we
tell
our
Collective
story
to
the
world
with
that
in
mind,
on
this
edition
of
Lake
to
Lake,
we'll
learn
about
the
newest
public
art
being
created
in
the
Bel
Red
Arts
District,
we'll
take
you
on
a
tour
of
the
Bam's
art,
fair
and
we'll
give
you
a
personal
look
at
pelody.
Our
recently
installed
public
art
piece
in
downtown
park.
A
The
Bel
Red
neighborhood
of
Bellevue
is
home
to
the
largest
concentration
of
arts
and
culture
organizations
and
activities
on
the
East
Side.
In
fact,
over
a
hundred
creative
organizations
and
businesses
call
Bel
Red
home,
but
many
people
are
unaware
of
the
full
scope
of
what
this
neighborhood
has
to
offer
to
help
bring
a
little
color
and
vibrancy
to
the
physical
space
of
Bel-Red.
The
city
worked
with
regional
artists
this
summer
to
install
eight
murals
in
the
very
heart
of
the
Arts
District.
B
Hey
how's
it
going.
My
name
is
Barry
Johnson
I'm,
a
visual
artist
I've
been
very
fortunate
to
be
creating
art
in
the
Pacific
Northwest
for
the
past
10
years.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
able
to
continue
to
make
public,
artwork
and
I'm
here,
because
I
was
selected
alongside
a
lot
of
amazing
artists
to
be
able
to
bring
a
mural
to
this
area.
B
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
to
make
an
expressionist
work
that,
over
the
course
of
the
475
feed,
never
repeats
itself.
I
want
something
that,
as
folks
are
walking
biking
jogging,
engaging
with
the
area
coming
off
the
train
that
they
just
see
a
work
of
art.
That
kind
of
jumps
out
at
them
and
is
very
environmental.
B
I
chose
environmental
colors
to
be
able
to
match
like
a
lot
of
the
energy
from
the
trees
and
the
Flora
and
everything
else
that's
coming
around,
and
particularly
the
yellows
that
are
coming
from
the
sun
and
a
little
bit
of
pink
to
be
able
to
match
a
little
bit
of
the
golden
hour.
Vibe.
So
I
just
wanted
something.
That's
just
inviting
warm,
but
also
something
that
like
pulled
folks
in
and
caused
them
to
pause
for
a
moment
and
watch
as
a
non-pattern
develops
and
flows
across
the
way
I
was
born
artist.
B
That
was
just
something
it
was
like.
My
fondest
memory
is
like
a
child.
It
was
something
I
always
knew
that
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
do,
but
you
know
being
a
first
generation
college
student
and
really
not
having
any
Art
Heroes.
That
looked
like
me.
Wasn't
one
of
those
things
so
I
was
like
you
know
how
do
I
get
into
this.
B
So
it's
just
one
of
those
things
that
after
I
went
to
school,
I
came
out
here
and
I
was
working
for
a
consulting
firm
and
during
that
time
I
got
back
into
drawing
and
sketching
and
just
started
going
at
it
full
time,
and
you
know
trying
to
figure
it
out
along
the
way.
But
you
know
I'm
really
happy
to
have
made
that
decision,
because
I'm
here
right
now
we're
in
a
really
interesting
place
where
we're
starting
to
watch
like
public
artwork
be
the
norm.
B
I'm
from
Kansas
and
Kansas
is
a
super
great
place,
but
it's
not
full
of
the
amount
of
art
that
there
is
here
so
I'm
really
happy
to
be
able
to
see
more
art
coming
up
I'm
one
of
many
artists
that
have
a
story,
a
story
that
should
be
told
through
their
work
and
that
there
are
many
folks
that
really
deserve
opportunities
to
be
able
to
create
work
like
this
there's.
So
many
artists,
there's
so
many
stories,
there's
so
much
energy
that
needs
to
be
expressed
through
work
and
I.
Think
it's
very
important.

Bellevue
summer
arts
fair,
has
been
a
highlight
of
the
city's
Festival
season
for
decades.
The
portion
of
the
fair
hosted
by
the
Bellevue
art
museum
has
been
going
strong
for
77
years
and
it
is
the
largest
award-winning
Arts
and
Crafts
Festival
in
the
Pacific
Northwest.
C
The
Bellevue
Arts
Museum
arts,
fair,
is
the
biggest
event
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
It's
been
going
on
for
77
years.
It
attracts
several
hundred
thousand
people.
We
have
about
300,
participating
artists
and
you're,
really
going
to
see
everything
from
Ceramics
fiber
textiles,
painting,
sculpture,
photography,
there's
going
to
be
something
for
every
collector.
So
this
is
something
you
do
not
want
to
miss
owner.
D
I
do
found
art,
so
everything
in
here
is
recycled,
made
from
scrap
metal
old,
license
plates
old
tools.
I
mean
everything
you
can
think
of
I.
Think
here.
People
appreciate
the
reusing
material
things
that
one
would
consider
junk
and
it
can
be
turned
into
something
beautiful,
like
art,
seeing
the
reactions
of
people's
faces,
as
they
see
this
eight
foot
guitar
or
these
crazy
Whimsical
birds
that
were
all
made
from
just
scrap
that
was
going
to
be
thrown
away
and
bringing
that
emotion
out
of
people
from
something
that
someone
would
consider
garbage.
C
The
majority
of
our
artists
are
from
our
region,
the
west
coast,
the
Pacific
Northwest
in
California,
but
then
we
attract
a
large
number
of
artists
from
the
East
Coast.
We
have
an
open
selection
process
and
we
receive
about
seven
to
nine
hundred
applications
on
a
yearly
basis,
and
then
we
have
a
panel
of
Judges
who
go
through
those
applications,
selecting
the
very
finest
artist
and
they
make
the
journey
across
the
country
and
make
Bellevue
their
destination.
For
this
last
weekend
in
July.
E
What
I
love
about
the
Bellevue
show
is
that
I'm,
interacting
with
people
who
really
understand
that
things
are
made
by
hand
and
that
people
are
curious,
they're
interested-
and
here
you
can
really
look
at
something
you
can
concentrate
with
something
you
can
connect
with
the
person
that
you
made
it
and
for
me,
as
the
artist
I
connect
with
the
person
who
falls
in
love
with
what
I
make
so
I
love
it.
That
people
come
and
ask
me
questions
about.
How
did
I
make
something?
Why
do
I
make
it?
C
A
A
Conceived
as
a
key
location
and
meeting
point
along
the
grand
connection,
pedestrian
Corridor
Pallotti
is
the
newest
work
of
art
in
the
city's
permanent
collection.
The
word
pelody
is
an
architectural
term
that
describes
thin
columns
that
work
together
to
hold
up
a
larger
superstructure
and
in
that
way,
pallodia
is
a
reflection
of
all
of
us
working
together
to
hold
up
a
community,
that's
bigger
than
ourselves.
It's
an
Innovative
artwork
for
an
Innovative
Community.
Let
me
take
you
on
a
tour.
F
We
are
in
bellevue's
downtown
park,
we're
just
off
the
intersection
of
Bellevue
Way
and
Northeast
Fourth
in
the
new
Northeast
Fourth
gateway
to
the
downtown
park.
This
artwork
is
called
Lodi
It
Is
by
artist
Mark
fournes
of
the
very
many.
This
piece
was
perfect
for
Bellevue,
because
it
it's
really
getting
to
the
heart
of
our
technology
and
creativity
and
really
our
Innovation
Focus
that
we
have
in
our
community.
F
F
The
artwork
is
made
from
665
unique
panels
and
they're
put
together,
held
together
with
rivets
in
this
kind
of
basket
kind
of
orientation
with
two
layers
overlapping
of
panels,
and
that
really
allows
the
artists
to
create
this
very
thin.
Flute-Like
structure
that
that
opens
up
to
the
canopy
above
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
love
about.
The
piece
is
that
all
the
panels
are
individually
numbered,
and
so
you
can
see
if
you
go
to
any
panel
on
the
piece
you
see
a
number,
and
in
this
case
this
is
689.
F
F
The
reception
of
the
artwork
has
been
overwhelmingly
positive.
We've
had
lots
of
different,
exciting
groups
meet
under
we've.
Had
a
group
of
moms
doing
yoga.
We
had
a
group
of
Harvard
engineering
students
that
have
come
out
just
to
witness
the
artwork
and
then,
of
course,
all
of
our
community
members
that
are
posing
in
front
of
it
with
family,
with
friends
just
sitting
under
it
enjoying
a
lunch.
It's
been
a
very
positive
experience
to
see
such
a
good
response
and
love
come
from
the
community
through
this
artwork.
