Friends, neighbors, and community leaders joined the 2023 Artful Evening Gala and auction in July at the Westin Bellevue with Auctioneer Matt Lorch and Emcee Jay Martin Jr.

The Artful Evening Gala benefits the Bellevue Arts Museum and supports exhibitions and programming that engage people in the power of art, craft, and design. The Bellevue Arts Museum was proud to honor Mitch Smith, AIA, and MG2 for their long-term support of the museum and their transformational impact on the craft of architecture. Smith’s unwavering commitment to the advancement of the museum in the community as past President and as a BAM board of trustees member has been particularly impactful. 

Bellevue Arts Museum is committed to creating an environment that supports freedom of artistic expression, inviting and embracing diverse and wide-ranging perspectives.
