Bellevue Downtown Arts Market to Feature 110 Artists

Bellevue, WALocal News

The Bellevue Downtown Arts Market is set for July 30-31, featuring over 110 artists from diverse backgrounds showcasing crafts like jewelry, sculptures, and home décor. This free outdoor event, located between 106th Ave NE and NE 6th St, is part of the annual Arts Fair Weekend, which includes the Bellevue Arts Museum's renowned Arts Fair. Attendees can enjoy food trucks and live music, creating a festive atmosphere. Patrick Bannon, president of the Bellevue Downtown Association, highlighted the market as a vital opportunity to support local artists and engage with the community, fostering creativity and craftsmanship while celebrating the rich artistic culture of the Pacific Northwest. Following a successful adaptation in 2021, when the event was moved to Labor Day weekend for safety, the return to July is eagerly awaited.

Detailed event information, including an artist directory and directions, is available on the Bellevue Downtown Association's website, with generous support from Amazon and the City of Bellevue, reflecting strong community backing for local arts and culture.
