Bellevue Arts Museum, Art and craft museum in Bellevue, United States
Bellevue Arts Museum sits in a modern building with angular architecture, large windows, and exhibition spaces spread across three floors in downtown. The spaces inside are bright and open, designed to showcase different art forms and changing presentations.
The institution started in 1947 as a street art exhibition before establishing itself as the Pacific Northwest Arts and Crafts Association in 1975. Since then it grew into a dedicated space for contemporary craft and design in the region.
The museum displays rotating exhibitions of contemporary art, craft, and design with focus on works by artists from the region. Visitors can see how local creative communities express themselves through their work and practice.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM with full wheelchair accessibility throughout. Visitors should know that exhibitions change regularly, so checking current details before visiting makes sense.
The museum goes beyond traditional exhibitions by offering hands-on workshops for visitors to try. During difficult times the place has distributed art and craft kits to thousands of community members.
