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.
