Key projects initiated by the Eastside Arts Coalition that address our mission include:

On September 15 2007, we held the first Eastside Arts Education Fair - a collection of information, performances, workshops and activities highlighting the arts and educational services and opportunities the Eastside has to offer to the community.   30 artists and groups took part in the event.  View the poster which promoted the event.

It is our hope that the Fair will become an annual event for the Eastside Arts Coalition and the Eastside community. If successful, it is our goal to continue producing the event for another two years, aiming for it to become a place where families, businesses and arts organizations come together to share what the Eastside arts community has to offer to everyone.

The first Eastside Arts Alive! Festival was held in 2004 and included about 20 member organizations performing concurrently at two venues, the Theatre at Meydenbauer Center and Kirkland Performance Center, over three days.

The East King County Arts & Cultural Economic Impact Study was commissioned by EAC and released in September 2001.
