PAPER was the host of the International Origami Exhibit, held in Bellevue, Washington, July 12-26, 2009. The Exhibit was sponsored by The Bellevue Collection in conjuction with the Bellevue Art Museum. Lori Gregory, of PAPER, curated the exhibit.

The origami exhibit was shown the two weeks preceeding the Fair. On the weekend of the Fair, Robert Lang was a special guest of the museum. He demonstrated large scale origami on Friday and Saturday folding many of his animal models each day. PAPER was located near-by teaching origami to the Fair visitors.
