Stay Home - Stay Safe
To our valued visitors - As we enter a new month and a new spring season while confined to our homes across the world, we want you to know that we miss you, but your health and safety are our highest priorities.   

Here in Bellingham and Whatcom County, nature is sending us messages of hope and positivity, with the colors of sunrise above Mt. Baker and sunsets on the Salish Sea. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming and trees are greening. Our vibrant arts community has rallied to provide robust online content to enjoy at home.

We send you each a virtual hug. We will get through this - together. And we will be here to greet you when you are able to return.

Whatcom Arts Project

Bellingham and Whatcom County deeply value togetherness. We believe in staying emotionally connected during this time of being apart.

To achieve that goal, more than 30 performing and visual arts organizations have collaborated to form the  Whatcom Arts Project - a campaign to inform, entertain, educate, inspire, collaborate, support, promote, and uplift each other daily and remain socially close while physically distanced. Learn about the project and the organizations on our webpage and view content on Facebook.
