Every year I look forward to the annual Bellevue Arts Museum Fair in July. It’s one of the top art fairs in the country and one of the highlights of the summer for me. Each year there are some of the great standbys mixed in with some new artistic talent. Where else can you go to an art fair in a shopping mall parking garage!
Here are some of my favorites from this year’s show:
Nancy Sinatra would have thought “these boots were made for walking” by the Heliotropium Gallery in Mount Vernon, Washington.
Gorgeous ceramic vessels with an Asian esthetic were presented by Brian O’Neill.
This artful design is from Seth Rolland Custom Furniture Design in Port Townsend, WA.
Larry Halvorsen is known for his black and white pottery creations.
Mark Hudak creates wonderful, practical pieces that are very affordable and fun.
Dean Pulver from Dean Pulver Studio Furniture made this whimsical bench.
Time for a game of Monopoly? Too bad, this is actually a painting by pop artist Doug Bloodworth! The detail is just fabulous and makes you want to try to buy Park Place. What would you expect from a Realtor?
Ok, the battery in my camera died, so we have 7 favorites here, although I had many more I wanted to photograph. Another great fair this year. What were your favorites? See if we can complete the list of 10 here.

Those were some good choices Debra. My all-time favorite roast beef sandwiches from the Bellevue Kiwanis were not there this year for the first time in many, many years. That is one of the many things my family has really looked forward to in years past.
Apparently they need more members before they can make it happen again – I just wish I had time to help out.
Hey Hair Farmer,
How are you? Haven’t heard from you in a while.
Too bad about the Kiwanis. It seems like a lot of things are changing. Starbucks…who would have thought. But the fair was its usual wonderful self. I look forward to it every year.
