Hotels Close to 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.
Original ExteriorIn 1937, the Association’s goals were realized through a partnership among the Boise Art Association, the City of Boise and the federal Works Progress Administration. The Boise Gallery of Art was constructed in Julia Davis Park in the heart of downtown Boise. Exclusively managed by volunteers from the Boise Art Association, the 3,000 sq. ft. Art Deco building was composed of two galleries and a small office/lobby space. Although the gallery did not actively collect, it presented local and regional artwork and played an important role in Boise’s growing community.
In 1961, the Boise Art Association incorporated as a non-profit organization under the name Boise Gallery of Art. In the mid-sixties, the first professional staff was hired and programming became more ambitious. The need for additional space quickly became a priority, and in 1972, the gallery moved to a temporary location as construction began on a year-long expansion program. The 10,000 sq. ft. addition included enlarged galleries, a lobby, sales shop, vault and studio space, allowing the institution to lay the foundation for its current mission, Permanent Collection, exhibition practices and educational programs, including a docent program.
Interior GalleryIn 1986, the institution successfully completed a capital and endowment campaign allowing for a second renovation, expansion of its galleries, and support of its new facilities. Upon completion of the expansion in 1988, the Museum was awarded its initial accreditation by the American Association of Museums, with subsequent accreditation awarded in 1996. That same year, 1988, the Museum was renamed Boise Art Museum to reflect its focus on developing its Permanent Collection and education program as well as the display of significant traveling exhibitions. At this same time, Glenn C. Janss, a Sun Valley resident, placed her nationally known collection of American Realist works on long-term loan with the Museum. In 1989, Collectors Forum, which is a Museum membership driven organization, was established to provide funds to expand and further develop the collections. A schedule of education programs was created and continues today, with such offerings as studio art programs, school tours, lectures, after hours events, and family days.
In 1997, BAM embarked upon a multi-million dollar campaign, supported by the City of Boise and the community, which enabled BAM to increase its facilities by 13,800 square feet to a total of 34,800 square feet. This most recent expansion reflects the Museum’s dedication to its Permanent Collection, display of multiple exhibitions, and educational programming. The Museum added five more galleries devoted to the display of its Permanent Collection, a 2,775 square foot sculpture court; an education wing comprised of three studios and an interactive children’s gallery; art storage vault, art prep area, and staff offices. As a result of the expansion and community support, BAM’s exhibitions, programming and attendance have grown significantly over the past two years.
BAM plays a leadership role in the cultural life of its community through a growing Permanent Collection which focuses on regional and national artwork, nationally acclaimed exhibitions and an education program that reaches more than 13,000 students each year. BAM recently developed its strategic plans for the coming five-year period. These plans focus on increasing attendance, reaching a broader audience by expanding community engagement efforts in connection with exhibitions, enhancing educational programming, improving the Museum’s web site through additional interactive components, and increasing the endowment to ensure BAM’s continued growth and success in the future.

Hotels Close to Basque Museum and Cultural Center
The Basque Museum and Cultural Center was established in 1985 as a small museum in the historic Cyrus Jacobs-Uberuaga House at 607 Grove Street. Located in scenic Boise, Idaho, the Basque Museum & Cultural Center provides a look into the heritage of the Basque communities of Idaho and surrounding areas. Through hard work and the support of many individuals, businesses, foundations, and Basque communities, the Museum began to interpret the rich and colorful history of the Basques, their origins, and their new life in America.
The 611 Grove Street property became the primary facility for the Museum's operations in 1985. As artifact donations and exhibit development increased, so did the need for more space. Displays, classrooms, a library, a kitchen and a Museum Store became part of the renewed space. Over the years, thanks to many dedicated people, the Museum has grown tremendously in facilities and services and has become an Idaho cultural institution.
The mission of the Basque Museum and Cultural Center is to perpetuate, to preserve, and to promote awareness of Basque history and culture through education, research, collections and social activities for present and future generations. The country's first Basque preschool, Boiseko Ikastola, has been established as part of this mission.
Museum collections include oral history archives, a library, a records / tapes collection, manuscript materials, numerous artifacts and photographs. It is the home of significant resources for anyone interested in Basque history and culture.
As support and participation increase, the Museum will be able to offer additional educational programs, develop and enhance permanent exhibits, implement technological improvements, manage collections, and promote Basque social activities. With your help, the Basque Museum & Cultural Center will continue to grow and remain one of the United States' premier cultural institutions.

Hotels Close to College of Idaho
Founded as the College of Idaho in 1891, Albertson provides a curriculum that is grounded in the liberal arts in a challenging, intimate academic setting.
The College of Idaho is a liberal arts college with an enrollment of 1,010 students located in Caldwell, Idaho. From 1991 until October 2007 it was known as Albertson College of Idaho.
The college was conceived in 1884 when the Presbyterian Church's Wood River Presbytery, meeting in Shoshone, formed a commission to examine the possibility of establishing a Presbyterian college somewhere in the Idaho Territory. The commission found support for such a venture and in 1890 the Presbytery accepted an offer from a group of Caldwell citizens, led by William Judson Boone, to locate the institution in that community.
The college was founded in 1891 by Dr. Rev. William Judson Boone with the support of the Wood River Presbytery. It first opened its doors to students on October 7, 1891. Nineteen students showed up at the College of Idaho for the first classes in 1891. The first classes were held downtown in the Caldwell Presbyterian Church and a year later the college moved into its own downtown building. The campus moved to its present site on the east side of town in 1910 when Henry and Carrie Blatchley donated 20 acres (81,000 m2) of land. Sterry Hall, a classroom and administration building, and Finney Hall, the first residence hall, were built that year. Voorhees Hall, the second of what would become a total of five residence halls, opened two years later.
In 1893, it was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho and placed in the hands of a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Dr. Boone served as president of the College for 45 years until his death in 1936.
In 1991, the college changed its name to Albertson College of Idaho to honor alumnus and long-time donor Joe Albertson and his wife Kathryn. The Albertsons, who founded one of the country's largest supermarket chains, Albertson's Inc., were generous benefactors of the college.
On October 10, 2007, college president Bob Hoover announced that the name would revert to The College of Idaho, with the mutual agreement of the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation, to promote acceptance and gain financial backing from alumni who were unhappy about the original name change.

In descending order of land area the forest is located in parts of Valley, Boise, Elmore, Gem, Ada, and Washington counties. Forest headquarters are located in Boise, Idaho. There are local ranger district offices in Cascade, Emmett, Idaho City, Lowman, and Mountain Home.[
