The Arts Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council. It may hold public meetings and make such studies, analyses and reports as requested by the City Council and may perform the following functions:

Inform the City Council in matters of arts
Serve as a clearinghouse for concerns and ideas about arts
Enlarge the art consciousness of Bellevue
Encourage multi-age working, sharing, learning and teaching in the arts
Encourage and recognize local artists
Explore financing for acquisitions related to the arts
Establish a long-range plan for the development and operation of a cultural center
Make recommendations as requested by the City Council
Review the suitability of art works intended as gifts to the City.

The Commission's work program is based on implementing the Cultural Compass, the city's plan for developing arts and culture in our community. Major ongoing programs include the Public Art Program for commissioning public art for the community, and Eastside Arts Partnerships and Special Projects funding providing direct support to artists and arts organizations serving Bellevue.

The terms are four years and expire on May 31 of the last year of the term. No one can serve more than two consecutive full terms. If a commissioner is appointed to fill a partial term of less than two years, that commissioner is eligible to serve for an additional two full terms.
