I just found an Idaho artists site at www.idahoartists.com. It seems oriented towards marketing artists, but interesting none the less. For those with a good internet connection.

The Boise Arts Commission has a site up and they share a list of 10 characteristics that make up a healthy arts community. I like item 8, except for the tourism part:

“8.) The arts are valued as an industry because of their contribution to the new economy, which encompasses quality of life, economic development and tourism.”
