OPENING CELEBRATION
About Living Traditions
Celebrate Opening Day
With Us!
Fair weekend begins on Friday, July 24 welcoming guests into both the Bellevue Arts Fair and this year’s Living Traditions programming. Inochi Taiko opens the weekend with a performance that is as much visual as it is sonic - choreography, rhythm, energy, and dynamic arrangement coming together in a stunning and empowering experience. “Inochi” means Life, and that is exactly what the ensemble brings to NE 6th Street. As they perform, Living Traditions co-curator, artist Shizu Usami takes the stage with her brush. The final brushstroke completes as the music reaches its close - two traditions, one moment.
