Hello Art Organizations!
You are cordially invited to an evening of art and preservation to celebrate Idaho Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month and the renovation of the historic U.S. Assay Office, a National Historic Landmark and home to the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). On May 1st from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, SHPO will welcome artists, preservation partners, and members of the public to the freshly renovated Assay Office, where will debut the winning design of the Rainbow Bridge poster contest. Attendees will receive a copy of the poster and food options will be available.
In February, the Idaho SHPO held an art contest for the design of the annual Archaeology & Historic Preservation Month poster. We had over 100 submissions from so many mediums—including linocuts, watercolors, mixed-media, photographs, and many more. The response to our contest reminded us how powerful art can be as a medium to celebrate historic places.
As part of our event, we invite you to set up a table on the Assay Office lawn to promote your organization. We do ask that you provide your own table, tent, chairs, etc. Please RSVP by April 21st if you would like to table at this link: Bridging the Past Organization Participation Form.
