Bellevue Arts Museum

Bellevue Arts Museum Mission
Bellevue Arts Museum is the Pacific Northwest’s center for the exploration of art, craft and design through exhibitions, educational programs and partnerships, emphasizing the work of regional artists.

Bellevue Arts Museum has great opportunities for educators and school groups

Bellevue Arts Museum invites you and your class to pay us a visit. Our exhibitions change regularly and explore the major mediums of fine arts and craft including fiber, clay, wood, glass, metal and design. A tour of Bellevue Arts Museum’s galleries serves as a great extension of classroom work and provides several opportunities to develop projects and assignments that relate the works on display to curriculum.

The Bellevue Art Museum Fair, presented each July, is one of the largest and most prestigious art festivals in the country. It began as a grassroots effort to showcase Northwest artists 55 years ago. The first Fair in 1947 drew over 20,000 people. Today more than 300,000 visitors come to the Fair and partake of the 325 artists booths, art demonstrations, exhibitions, performing arts, food and a Kidsfair. The Fair's proceeds benefit the artists and the Museum.
