BOSCO Overview

Boise Open Studios Collective Organization: Connecting Artists and Community Through Creative Collaboration and Engagement

Boise Open Studios Collective Organization features over 125 Treasure Valley artists working in painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, printmaking, jewelry, textiles, mosaic, collage, assemblage, digital images, and glass. Our main event, the Open Studios Tour, occurs during the first two weekends of October each year, with half of the artists opening their studios on the first weekend and the rest on the second. This event aims to enhance public understanding of the artistic process, foster connections, and build community.

Additionally, BOSCO partners with organizations like Oinkari Basque Dancers, Idaho Songwriters Association, Ballet Idaho, Idaho State Archives, City of Meridian, and Meridian Arts Commission to showcase local art, music, dance, and history. These collaborations strengthen cultural connections and celebrate Idaho’s unique diversity.

Artist Spotlight

Stephanie Inman

Stephanie Inman is a Boise public artist and cultural planner, graphic designer, and mixed media artist. Her work varies from large-scale public art installations to interactive interpretive signage to little sculptural buildings. She holds a degree in Architecture from the University of Oregon.

Stephanie was awarded the Idaho Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts in 2022.

“My art is specific to its place. I’m drawn to humble, unpretentious buildings to document and remember. Creating their likeness in miniature elevates their story. Opposite that is the drama of large-scale public art with bold colors and textures against a big, blue sky. So I am drawn to the big and to the small. There’s always a push and pull.”
