Education Tours and Art Activities                                           

Bellevue Arts Museum offers complimentary docent-led tours for you and your guests. We recommend one docent per 20 guests. A typical tour takes approximately 30 minutes in the galleries. Please give the Special Events Coordinator two weeks advance notice to schedule your docent-led tour.

The Museum also offers art activities for your guests! Art activities can be correlated with the current exhibitions so guests may be inspired to create their own piece of artwork. We can provide all art materials for a very reasonable charge. Please consult with your Special Events Coordinator.
