Operation's Update

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) has paused its normal operations due to ongoing financial difficulties. For many years, BAM has been a beloved cultural hub, offering inspiration and creativity to the Eastside community and beyond. The museum's future is still being determined, and we recognize the profound sadness this brings to those who cherish BAM as a staple in Bellevue's vibrant art scene.

While regular operations are on hold, the BAM team remains dedicated to supporting the arts. The museum’s beautiful space will continue to host private events, educational workshops, and art gatherings. We're pleased to share that the 2024 Holiday Art Fair & 2025 BAM Arts Fair will still go forward, offering a chance to celebrate local artists. The museum’s private balcony also remains a stunning spot for intimate Snowflake Lane viewing parties, providing a special way to experience Bellevue.

If you feel moved to support BAM during this difficult time, we encourage you to consider booking a private event in their space or making a donation to help sustain their mission. As a nonprofit, every bit of support helps. More information can be found here.

We will keep you updated as more details emerge.
