May – October 2016 newsletter

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
‘70 Years of Crafting Community’—our theme for BAM ARTSfair 2016—sums up
the history of Bellevue Arts Museum pretty succinctly.
In 1947, a dedicated group of volunteers and local leaders implemented
an idea that brought together members of the community to celebrate the
creativity and originality of local artists. The original BAM ARTSfair, then the Pacific
Northwest Arts and Crafts Fair, eventually grew into Bellevue Arts Museum. Much
like the first Fair, the Museum has continued to celebrate the creativity and
originality of local artists, as well as makers from all around the world.
Our community has changed considerably in the past 70 years. From strawberry
70 Years
fields to a world-class city; from a small town of closely knit neighbors, to the most
diverse and fast-growing area in the state—a lot has changed. But what remains
the same is the vision of those original ARTSfair volunteers to provide a unique and exceptional opportunity to have
of
a direct conversation with artists and makers.
BAM seeks to provide many opportunities to engage the community in conversation. This summer we are
honored to bring Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair to the Pacific Northwest. This exhibition
showcases not only stunning fashions that were created by some of the most well-known designers of the times,
but focuses on the innovation, creativity, and empowerment shared with individuals of all ages who attended
the Fashion Fairs between 1956 and 2009.
We look forward to generating similar excitement around our new music program, BAM SOUND & VISION. This new
program features an extremely talented line up of performers paired with our exhibitions, resulting in a feast for all
the senses and inviting new audiences to experience the best of BAM.

50 Years of Ebony

MAY 20 – AUGUST 14, 2016

revolutionizing the relationship between African Americans
and the fashion establishment.

stunning gowns, feathered coats, and sensational hats by icons

Ahearn's work in fiber has drawn from a variety
of cultural references. From old samplers, to Hello
Kitty, to American football, to cage fighters from
TV, his work has appropriated these recognizable
symbols to question expectations about manhood
and its assumed qualities of courage, vigor, and
determination. In the artist’s hands, needlework—

femininity, the triviality of everyday domesticity,

MAY 20 – AUGUST 14, 2016
In 2014, Seth Rolland won the John and Joyce Price Award of
Excellence for his work in BAM Biennial 2014: Knock on Wood.
This award granted Rolland the opportunity to hold a solo
exhibition at Bellevue Arts Museum in celebration of his craft.
Rolland is a craftsman in the truest sense—someone who thinks
and communicates with his hands. His singular mastery of the
kerfing technique is possibly the most distinctive element of his
work. Traditionally used by luthiers to bend the lining of stringed
instruments, kerfing is, in simple terms, the act of making a

growth pattern of tree roots, and the heft of cobbles

tensions, Seth Rolland achieves balance between

ornamental, riffing on the modernist creed of 'less is more.'
A perceptive observer of shape and structure, Rolland finds
inspiration for his remarkable furniture in the architecture of the
natural world. He distills nature's complexity, reducing it to its
defining elements, which are then suggested in his furniture—
