The cultural programs staff at the City of Boise, Department of Arts & History work with other city departments, public and private organizations, and citizen groups to offer residents information on community arts and cultural resources, free or low-cost family arts & cultural events, and innovative collaborations.  Cultural programming is part of department-wide efforts to connect Boiseans to one another and help cultivate and promote a sense of place and community that is textured and layered with creativity and depth.
