Arts & History Commission

As our role in the community expands and deepens, we continue to develop partnerships with individuals, local businesses, government agencies and arts organizations. Joining the commission is a great way to get to know the Department and our services, and to focus your volunteer time on exciting projects. When open seats are available, a public call for applications is issued and Boise residents may apply.

• Melissa Thom - Chair
