The Public Art in Neighborhoods Program is a new initiative designed to foster collaborative artist-community work. Artwork produced through this program reflects neighborhood identity and creates an enhanced sense of place.
The Public Art in Neighborhoods Program aims to:
- Engage residents with public art and its process
- Build a greater sense of community ownership of Bellevue’s Public Art Program
- Develop public art with artistic merit and community meaning
- Support collaboration among community members and between community members and artists
The Public Art in Neighborhoods Program offers participation opportunities to residents of each of the 13 neighborhood enhancement areas on a rotating basis.
