ABOUT US:
The Department of Arts & History was established by City
Ordinance in March 2008 to enhance the Boise community by providing
leadership, advocacy, education, services, and support for arts and
history. The new Department emerged from the former Boise City Arts
Commission, which was established by City Ordinance in 1978 as a
nonprofit city agency to advise and assist the City Council in
development, coordination, promotion and support of the
arts.
