With a heavy heart, we share that Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) will be closing its doors today, marking the end of an era for our beloved institution that has served our community since 1947. This decision has been incredibly difficult and follows significant financial challenges that we have been unable to overcome. BAM has been more than just a museum; it has been a space for creativity, learning, and connection. From the passion of our founding community to the iconic exhibitions and events like the Bellevue Arts Fair, BAM has been a cornerstone of Bellevue's cultural identity. Despite our best efforts to navigate financial instability, we have reached a point where we can no longer sustain our operations. We understand the deep sadness this news brings, and we share in your heartbreak. We want to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible staff, docents, volunteers and you all who have supported us through the years. Your dedication and love for BAM have made this journey worthwhile. While this chapter closes, we hold onto hope for a new beginning. BAM has filed for Receivership with the goal of protecting our assets and exploring potential restructuring. Though this path is uncertain, it offers a chance for reinvention and new opportunities. Thank you for being part of the BAM family. Let’s keep the spirit of art and community alive in Bellevue. Please check press release for more details. https://lnkd.in/gTYdWNVU

More long form art classes in partnership with artist, Diane Crago, and GAGE Academy of Art coming soon... Check out this 425 Magazine article featuring our very own Director of Education, Carl Gellert highlighting new art experiences at BAM! "The goal of bringing more enriched artistic experience to the Eastside has driven much of [Carl Gellert's] work since stepping into the Director of Education role. As one of the largest centers for art education in the area, it’s pivotal to the culture of downtown Bellevue and the Eastside more broadly. Sharing Gellert’s passion for his work, [Diane Crago] hopes to continue to bring in other Gage instructors that will further develop programming." “We think about our community and really, like, what are the different populations that are in the audience that comes to the Bellevue Arts Museum, whether it's different cultures, different religions, different (genders), different races. We want to make sure that we're having programing that really helps to make our community feel seen and feel welcome within our museum,” Gellert said. “And that comes to really designing a wide range of different types of experiences that can both speak to and also broaden the experience of people who come into the museum.” https://lnkd.in/gA2E7Gun? #bellevueartsmuseum #art #workshop #studio #painting #community #class #bellevuewashington #bellevuewa #bam
