Greetings.

This past year, the Bellevue Mural Arts Program was successfully funded by residents of Bellevue by way of a matching grant from IOBY. This fundraising effort raised nearly $5,000 for the creation and implementation of public art in the Borough of Bellevue. As a result of this success, we have determined that there is a real and growing need to represent the power of our creative community by investing in the creation and implementation of public art.

We are seeking to build the Community Arts Committee (a sub-committee of Bona Fide Bellevue) composed of artists, musicians, teachers, and creatives of all types to advocate for public art, promote public art opportunities, assess artwork submissions, facilitate community engagement in the arts, and ultimately lead the production and implementation of public art in Bellevue. Additionally, as a member of this newly minted committee, you will have a voice in crafting the mission of this committee and how it completes its work.

If you are interested in participating, please submit your information below and a member of Bona Fide Bellevue will be in contact with you.

Thank you for your interest!
