MUSEUM ARTISTS
The Museum
Artists comprise a membership category of The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho that as a
group is dedicated to providing a positive and enriching venue for the
community of artists at all stages in their personal development and
energetically contributing to the achievement of the cultural and educational
missions of the Museum. We exist to provide financial, in-kind and volunteer
support to the Art Museum, a gathering place and educational opportunities for
artists, encouragement to artists to exhibit their work, and a place of welcome,
friendship and support for all members.
