Forum: Idaho's Creative Economy

Forum: Idaho's Creative Economy

Across the U.S., cities are developing music and creative economy strategies to quantify impact, reduce regulatory barriers, support venues, and grow local talent pipelines. Boise is uniquely positioned to lead in this space. Boise’s creative economy is a powerful engine for workforce development, entrepreneurship, tourism, and placemaking. From independent artists and venues to festivals like Treefort Music Fest and partners like Arts Idaho, Boise State University, and City of Boise, the arts sector shapes how Idaho grows, who it attracts, and how communities thrive.

Join City Club of Boise for a timely forum exploring how the creative economy contributes to Idaho’s future, and what it will take to sustain it.
