The redesign of our website could not have been completed without financial support from 4Culture, the Bellevue Arts Commission and the EAC Members.

A BIG thank you to the EAC Officers, especially Caroline Renard and Laura Shepherd, and all those who gave their time and advice to our Website Committee.

Thanks also to Sheila Hoffman of Hoffman Graphics for all her work on our original website.
