For more than 60 years, Bellevue Arts Museum ARTSfair (July 26, 27, & 28, 2013) has been celebrating the connection between our community and the world of art, craft and design. For 3 full days every July, we transform downtown Bellevue into a massive arts festival featuring over 300 juried artists from around the continent showcasing unique, handmade craft and fine art.

BAM is seeking artistic programming for the 2013 BAM ARTSfair. If you offer a unique activity, then we may have a spot! Over 320,000 attendees visit the BAM ARTSfair and this is a worthwhile marketing opportunity. Minimal fees required for spaces on-site to sell over the 3-day weekend.
