Arts and culture are the soul of the city. It can bring people together, build bridges to cultural understanding and provide a sense of community identity and possibility.

The mission of Bellevue's Arts Program is to encourage and support the arts as a vital part of community life. We foster Bellevue’s cultural development through public art, grants to local artists and organizations and cultural planning. We collaborate with the Bellevue Arts Commission, community groups and various departments throughout the city and invite you to participate in our work.
