Art in the Park – Artist Info Center

Welcome, Artists!

Boise Art Museum is now accepting artist applications for Art in the Park 2026! 

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, and agreement to its Terms and Conditions is required for participation. Please download or print a copy for your reference.

We recommend completing your application using a computer or laptop. If you are using a smartphone or tablet, you may need to rotate the device to landscape orientation (rather than upright portrait position) to view all required fields.

If you applied last year, or the year before, please log in using your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, you may reset it by clicking on “Reset your password” on the log-in page. Please follow the instructions below for “Returning Applicants.”

If you did not apply last year, or the year before, please scroll to the instructions for “New Applicants.”

Returning Applicants:

• Click on “Artist Log-In” and enter your email address and password (if using a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of this page).
• Once you are logged in, check your information by clicking on “Account Info” (or “Welcome <first name>”) on the right side of the menu bar in your dashboard. If you need to change any of this information, please email AIP@boiseartmuseum.org (if you participated last year, your “How many years?” number has already been updated).
• To submit your application, click on “Art in the Park 2026 Artist Application Images, Agreement, and Payment,” and follow the instructions. There is no save-and-return function for this form, so please be sure to have the following items ready before you begin:
  • Artist Statement
  • Five images of your artwork, and information for each (title/name, dimensions/sizing, price, description)
  • Booth photo
  • Credit card information for payment of the application fee
• Avoid using your browser’s “back” navigation. If you need to return to a previous step, instead use the “previous” button at the bottom of each page. Once you have submitted this form, you will receive an email confirmation.
• 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.

New Applicants:
