About This Cause

Vision Bellevue Arts Museum is a space where artists and audiences directly participate in the exchange of ideas, illuminating and enriching their join experience of art, craft, and design. About this Cause Bellevue Arts Museum is a leading destination in the Pacific Northwest to experience art, craft, and design. BAM is guided by the belief that art, craft, and design are essential to creating conversations about life experiences. From objects made for everyday use to cutting-edge sculpture, furniture, glass art, and jewelry. BAM celebrates the creative process, skill, and vision of our region’s most talented makers. History BAM is one of few museums that grew out of an art fair. Started by a handful of dedicated volunteers, the first fair was held in 1947 and eventually led to the founding of the Museum in 1975. After undergoing a series of transformations, BAM opened the doors to its first permanent home, designed by renowned architect and Washingtonian, Steven Holl, in 2001. Exclusively dedicated to art, craft, and design since 2005, the Museum has grown to be an important contributor to the region’s cultural vibrancy and a leading institution in its field. Bellevue Arts Museum Always new. Always different. Always exciting. See more at: http://www.bellevuearts.org
