Art in the Park – Food Vendor Info Center
Art in the Park Scam Alert: We have become aware of scammers portraying themselves as event organizers for Art in the Park. They have been contacting food vendors directly via email. Boise Art Museum is the organizer for Art in the Park. All official event information can be found on this webpage and the Event Information page. When in doubt about the legitimacy of an email or a social media post, please check our website first for the most up-to-date information.
Food Vendor Information Center
Welcome, Food Vendors!
Boise Art Museum is now accepting food vendor 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, read the Food Vendor 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.
- Download or print a copy of the Food Vendor Prospectus for your reference.
- Complete your online application, ideally using a computer or laptop. If you must use a smartphone or tablet, you may need to rotate the device to landscape orientation (rather than upright portrait position) to view all required fields.
Below is further information regarding fees, dates, and deadlines. If you have any questions regarding AIP that are not answered in the Food Vendor Prospectus or this webpage, please contact Andrea Burke at 208-345-8330, ext. 114, or email AIP@boiseartmuseum.org.
Thank you.
