Bellevue's Arts Program, guided by the city's strategic vision for arts and cultural investments - The Cultural Compass - provides funding to a variety of arts groups working in Bellevue, sets cultural policy and creates and sustains public art installations throughout the city.
Steered by the Bellevue Arts Commission, a volunteer advisory group appointed by the City Council, the Arts Program manages a variety of projects and initiatives designed to bring the arts into Bellevue's everyday life.
The program's mission is to encourage and support the arts as a vital part of community life. From supporting local arts groups to presenting a biennial sculpture exhibition, the Arts Program is dedicated to enlivening Bellevue as the cultural hub of the Eastside.
