FREE ADMISSION TO BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM

BAM ARTSfair starts at BAM. Infused with history, emotion and the personal stories of everyday people, the Museum's current exhibitions explore the traditions of communities whose art was a deep reflection of their daily lives. Just as the fair, Bellevue Arts Museum celebrates objects and their makers, exploring the convergence of art, craft and design. Come and see for yourself. Free
