The 2010 Special Projects Funding Guidelines are now available.

The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. Friday, October 2.

The Special Projects Program funds a variety of arts projects serving Bellevue residents. By encouraging and supporting special projects in Bellevue we aim to achieve the goals of the Cultural Compass, Bellevue's cultural plan, by:

providing a cultural public benefit to Bellevue’s residents;
creating a livelier, more diverse arts scene in Bellevue;
increasing support for, and participation in, the arts;
encouraging artists and arts groups to bring their work to Bellevue; and
strengthening artists and arts groups working in Bellevue.

SPECIAL FOCUS FOR 2010 -- Making an Arts District in Bel-Red

In 2009 the City Council adopted new zoning and policies for developing the Bel Red area in the years to come. The vision laid out in the Bel-Red Subarea Plan includes a different direction for arts and culture in Bel-Red – a new arts district. The Bel-Red subarea plan will take many years to realize, but the Bellevue Arts Commission is inviting artists to exercise their vision and creativity today.

Up to 50 percent of the funds available for Special Projects will be used to support proposals recommended by the Commission and approved by City Council for funding. See a map of the Bel-Red area and read more details are inside the Special Projects 2010 Guidelines which are linked below for downloading.

Following are Special Projects guidelines and applications for 2010:

Following are the final report forms, invoice forms and City Council and Arts Commission list. Those receiving funding will need to complete and turn in these reports and invoices to Arts Program staff in order to receive their funding. Reports and invoice are due no later than Nov. 2, 2010.

If you have questions or want to discuss your application, please contact the Arts Program staff (contact information in the right column of this page).
