	Map		Reviews

BAM's Permanent Collection of 2,300 works of art focuses on 20th century American art with a long-standing emphasis on artists of the Pacific Northwest, American Realism and ceramics.

BAM's Collection also includes a survey of European and non-Western artwork designed to provide a broader context for the overall Collection. The Permanent Collection is exhibited thematically, with current exhibits Elegance of Form and Contemporary Northwest Art. The Boise Art Museum (BAM) is the only AAM accredited art museum in the State of Idaho.

It began in 1931 as the Boise Art Association when a group of thirty people interested in promoting art in the city of Boise and throughout the state met in the Crystal Lounge of the Hotel Boise. Their purpose was to organize an association whose duties were to acquire and maintain a suitable gallery, hosting traveling exhibitions and promoting fine art in Boise. Their first official exhibition was held at the Hotel Boise.
