First Saturday Open House - Monthly!

Join us every first Saturday to support Boise's local art scene! Every month, you can pick some ceramic pieces to raku fire, and maybe get a chance to meet our featured artist of the month! Every odd month (March, May, etc), our open house will also feature an art market, showing local artists and makers!

May's featured artist of the month is the incredible multi-media artist and life model, Sugar May!

Dandelion Festival

Sun, 6/20, 2-7pm at Kristin Armstrong Municipal Park

"The Dandelion Festival is City of Good’s annual celebration of resilience in nature, in our food system, and in our community. We champion this event because a healthy local food system begins with a healthy local ecosystem and neighbors committed to preserving it. This is Boise’s fastest growing family-friendly festival with hands-on activities; local beer and food; live music; and dozens of nonprofits offering engagement opportunities so that all guests leave the festival knowing they can joyfully, easily support our environment- just like a dandelion!"
