Culture

Culture, in a broad sense, is our collective beliefs and customs expressed through visual art, history, literature, theater, dance, music, food, architecture, media, design, and fashion. Culture is learned and passed down from one generation to the next. Innovation in culture often occur where different cultures intersect or new technology shifts our experience of the world and understanding of our place in it.

Cultural Sites

The Cultural Sites program reflects Boise’s deep commitment to saving, reinventing, and promoting the historic properties that embody our city’s unique past. These treasured places tell the stories of the people, events, and traditions that shaped Boise, serving as tangible links between generations.
