Q: What health safety measures will be in place? A: BAM works with the City of Boise, and the Central District Health Department to ensure a safe event. BAM will share any arrangements made during the planning process with participants via email.

Q: When is the Deadline for Application? A: Completed applications are due Friday, March 22, 2024, midnight (MDT).

Q: When will I find out if I am accepted into the show? A: The jurying takes place in April, and announcements are made via email in early May.

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.

Q: If I’m not accepted into the show, can I be placed on a waitlist? A: A waitlist is developed during the jurying process. You will be notified in May if you are on the waitlist. Vacancies due to cancellations are filled only from the waitlist. Artists who did not apply by the original deadline are not eligible.

Q: How do I apply to be an artist in next year’s Art in the Park? A: The application process begins in January each year. The online application will be available on this webpage. If you would like to be notified when the application process begins, please send your name and email address to AIP@boiseartmuseum.org.
