OUR MISSION AND VISION FOR BELLEVUE

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Bellevue Arts Council is to create, foster and promote our unique regional arts environment by supporting the arts, art education and artists of eastern Iowa. By providing funding, advocacy and support services to the region's arts organizations and artists we strive to build a strong arts community now and for the future.

Facebook and Membership

Join us at https://www.facebook.com/BellevueArtsCouncil  to get to know us better and experience what our organization is all about.  


August is BAC Membership Month!

Please become a supporting member of the Bellevue Arts Council, working together toward a goal of supporting artists and arts education in our community. Link to our MEMBERSHIP FORM to become a Bellevue Arts Council member.  Your dues support exhibits by area artists, art classes for kids and seniors, visits from writers an poets, performances by actors and musicians, and trips to regional theaters and art museums. Another benefit of membership is an electronic newsletter sharing the latest projects and information you wouldn't want to miss. With your support, we will continue partnering with the public library, local schools, and other community organizations. 



Riverfront Sculpture and New Logo

We are delighted to announce that past BAC member Ronald Hansen dedicated the public art piece along Bellevue's Scenic Byway during our Fishtival 2018 festivities.  Ronald's concept of steamboat stacks and colorful fish is now installed for all of Bellevue and visitors to enjoy. To celebrate this beautiful addition to the Bellevue Riverview Park walkway, we have decided to use the sculpture as our new Bellevue Arts Council logo. 


Thank you to the community for its input in this multi-year process, and to the Public Art Selection Committee which developed the theme "Living, Flowing, Ever Changing." This project is being managed by the Byways of Iowa Foundation and the Northeast Iowa RC&D.
