Plans, Studies and Initiatives
From time to time, the city develops strategic plans to guide Bellevue's investment in arts and culture. Below are three studies with accompanying documents.
Arts & Economic Prosperity 6
Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6) is an economic and social impact study of the nation’s nonprofit arts and culture industry by Americans for the Arts. The City of Bellevue and, more generally, Eastside King County participated in the study in 2022.
Grand Connection
The Grand Connection will create new opportunities to activate public space and exhibit Bellevue's wealth of creativity, art and culture.
Creative Edge
Creative Edge Bellevue explored how the arts, culture, and creative sectors contribute to Bellevue’s community and economy. The final report found that our area's "creative edge" lies at the intersection of arts and culture, creative learning, and technology.
