Boise Art Museum Incorporated

be a pARTner - support BAM!

Did you know?   Many people in our community grow up without experiencing an original artwork in a museum.  Numerous Idaho families lack the resources to buy basic art supplies.  Most children in Idaho do not create or learn about art in our public schools.  No one should live in a world without art—a world without vibrant colors or images that take your breath away, a world where no outlet exists to express what the mind and soul long to say. 

ART:
-- is an essential part of our lives;
-- inspires us to be creative, use our imaginations and make connections with the world;
-- helps us understand ourselves and one another; and
-- makes our community vibrant. 

BE OUR pARTner by making a gift to the Boise Art Museum (BAM) today, and give everyone in our community the chance to live in a world filled with art!
