Programs

The Department of Arts & History is Boise's local cultural agency dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging through accessible and place-based arts and history. The department is comprised of several programs with a singular mission: to cultivate a distinct sense of place which reflects Boise's rich past, diverse communities, and unique natural setting. Our operations empower and serve Boise residents as we create opportunities that nurture and sustain Boise's past and its creative economy. 

The City of Boise is proud to be a welcoming community striving to ensure a safe, equitable, and inclusive city that celebrates the diversity of the people who live, work, and play in our community and recognizes the fundamental human dignity of all.
