Contributed to Visual Fine Art Cultural Development  and traditions of Idaho Falls

• ERAG has supported and contributed to historical documents of  local artists for decades; by sustaining traditional venues such as our Sidewalk Art Festival for 60+ years, we have created an aesthetic promotion and appreciation of visual fine art and rich cultural value to our community.

Volunteered and assisted our services for other organization in the community to fulfill their mission

•  ERAG has long participated in Dream Night at the Zoo which supports a delightful family evening for children with special needs.  Also we have participated in the Festival of Trees for funding support of the Developmental Workshop.

Recently, ERAG has moved the possessions into storage from our current rental facility to save and raise funds for a permanent facilty and initiate more sustainable programming in visual fine arts. ERAG has not yet owned a facility of our own, but has continued to contribute to our community with or without a building and will continue to find ways to acheive our traditional shows. However, much of this would be so easier if we could actually invest in a building from which to operate.

We would greatly appreciate your support and contribution in furthering our reach in the community, engagement of art education opportunities, and continue our long held history and tradition of visual fine art within the community of Idaho Falls and surrounding area!
