Daniel Hidalgo’s TEDx talk.
For the past decade, Idaho Art Lab has provided education, supplies and community for aspiring artists throughout east Idaho. Now Art Lab needs your help to secure a permanent home.
The Art Lab, a 501(c) nonprofit organization, has been on a month-to-month lease since they moved to its current location outside of St. Anthony in 2012, on 2355 South Yellowstone Highway. The building’s current owner has found a buyer for the building, but he also gave the lab the first right of refusal, meaning it has until May 31 to come up with the money for a counter offer.
Idaho Matters shares an interview from Boise State Public Radio Morning Edition host George Prentice about the Idaho Gives fundraiser that goes through Thursday.
