Museums in Idaho

BAM - Boise Art Museum

The Boise Art Museum (BAM) is the only AAM accredited art museum in the State of Idaho. It began in 1931 as the Boise Art Association when a group of thirty people interested in promoting art in the city of Boise and throughout the state met in the Crystal Lounge of the Hotel Boise. Their purpose was to organize an association whose duties were to acquire and maintain a suitable gallery, hosting traveling exhibitions and promoting fine art in Boise. Their first official exhibition was held at the Hotel Boise.

About Stewart Gallery

Stewart Gallery was founded by partners Lane Bune and Stephanie Wilde, opening its doors to the public in 1987 in Boise, Idaho. The gallery is committed to exhibiting outstanding and groundbreaking contemporary art by nationally and internationally established and emerging artists. In addition to organizing exhibitions at the gallery, Stewart Gallery collaborates with numerous museums, institutions, and galleries on exhibitions and acquisitions.

The gallery works very closely with a small group of nearly twenty artists on exhibitions, projects, and publications, and national art fairs. Stewart Gallery encourages the growth and development of gallery artists through the combination of exhibitions and an ongoing dialogue with museum curators and art critics. In addition, the gallery gives considerable attention to the cultivation of corporate and private collectors and their interests in contemporary art.
