In celebration of Black History Month in February and Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHP) Heritage Month in May, the MG2 Foundation partnered with the City of Bellevue to host two art exhibits showcasing the work of local multimedia artists in both of those communities.

Each event kicked off with an opening reception that included local artists, the City of Bellevue, and the MG2 Foundation, as well as the public. The monthlong exhibits were free and open to the public. 2025 was the second year of this partnership, spearheaded by MG2 Foundation Chair Jerry Lee.

“Artists around the city have begun to look forward to the opportunity to share their work and their perspectives with the community,” said Jerry Lee. “Our kick-off receptions feature live music and light bites, and they’re an opportunity for the public to meet the artists and celebrate their work.”

With the help of Jerry Lee and the MG2 Foundation, Bruce Lee fans may have a place to gather in the martial artist’s hometown. Jerry, who was instrumental in the design of the Chinatown-International District’s (CID) Chinatown Gate, has strong relationships with the District and the City.

“A statue of Bruce Lee in High Hay Park will both raise the awareness of the CID, attracting tourists to the area and further support the small businesses and restaurants in the neighborhood,” says Jerry Lee.

Lee is spearheading the drive to raise funds to coat a fiberglass sculpture of Bruce Lee, donated from the Bruce Lee Foundation, and is working with the City to place it. This year, the Foundation has raised $ number toward its goal of $90,000.
