Art in the Park – Artist Info Center

Welcome, Artists!

Boise Art Museum is now accepting artist applications for Art in the Park 2024! We have made changes to the process to create a more user-friendly experience for artists. Please continue reading for an overview of the steps.

Please note, we will be adding and updating information on this webpage on a regular basis. All communications related to Art in the Park (AIP) will occur via email and this webpage.

Before starting the online application, please read the Artist Prospectus carefully. This document is included in the application, and on this webpage. It contains important and detailed information about participating in Art in the Park. We recommend that you download or print a copy for your reference.

Here is an overview of the steps for completing your application:

  • Click on “Apply Now.” This is an email validation step where you will create an AIP account. You will receive an email requiring you to confirm your email address by clicking on a link in the email.
  • Clicking on the link in the email brings you to the Application Form where you will provide your information and create a password for your AIP account.
  • Once you have submitted this first form, you will be prompted to follow a link to log in and complete the Images, Agreement, and Payment Form found in your dashboard. Please see the Artist Prospectus (beginning on page 3) if you have questions about this form.
  • Once you have submitted your Images, Agreement and Payment Form, your application is complete! You may return to your dashboard to view your images by hovering over “Your Submitted Images” and clicking on the category.
  • If you are applying in multiple categories, you will submit an Images, Agreement and Payment Form for each category. Return to your dashboard, hover over “Forms,” and select the Application Images, Agreement and Payment form. Scroll down to find “If you need to apply and submit images for an additional category, click here,” and click the link to complete the form for your second category.

Below is further information regarding fees, dates, and deadlines, as well as frequently asked questions. If you have any questions regarding AIP, please contact Andrea Burke at 208-345-8330, ext. 114, or email AIP@boiseartmuseum.org.

Thank you.

Q: Can I pay my fees with a check? A: Checks are not accepted. Accepted forms of payment are debit and credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, and Discover only (no American Express).

Q: If I’m in the show, when do I get to pick out my booth location? A: We will post the booth map on this webpage in May, when notifications of the jury’s decisions are emailed to artist applicants. At that time, you will be able to request your preferred booth locations. While we do our best to accommodate artists’ preferences, we cannot guarantee requests will be granted.
