The City of Boise’s Public Art Collection is a cultural and educational resource managed by the Boise City Department of Arts & History. It includes site-specific outdoor works and indoor portable works, which are moveable pieces such as two-dimensional artworks and small sculptures. The collection spans diverse media, including painting, mixed media, sculpture, digital art, photography, printmaking, and drawing.

In addition to site-specific works created for the Boise Public Libraries, each library branch also features designated art walls that display the City of Boise’s Public Art Collection. These spaces ensure the art is accessible to the community. Library exhibitions are refreshed annually to showcase new pieces and ensure dynamic experiences.
