Eastside Arts Partnership Support Grants 

Eastside Arts Partnerships (EAP) provides 2-year operating support to bring the arts to the community, recognizing the value the arts bring to the quality of life, the education and development of children, the vitality of businesses, and a sense of connection to the community. Applicants must have a 501 (c) 3 designation or a 501 (c) 3 fiscal sponsor and provide publicly accessible programming. While applying for an EAP grant, applicants can apply for the PowerUp for Equal Access bonus grant. This opportunity aims to fill arts and cultural gaps for underserved communities. 

 

Project Grants

Project grants provide yearly funding for arts, cultural and heritage projects that serve residents and visitors in Bellevue. We encourage innovative projects by artists, individuals and arts organizations that fill cultural gaps and inspire new forms of creative participation. While applying for a Project Grant, applicants can choose to apply for the BelRed Arts District bonus grant. This opportunity aims to incentivize the activation of and work to bring the BelRed Arts District to life.
