Ampersand Studios has rolled out a new offering: the Ready to Post Content Subscription. It’s done-for-you social media content designed for businesses […]
If you’ve ever popped into Art Source Gallery, you’ve probably realized right away that it isn’t the kind of gallery where you have to whisper, keep your hands behind your back, or pretend you “know art.”Instead, it’s a working, artist-run gallery that’s been quietly shaping Boise’s art community for more than 30 years.

If you’ve ever hiked through the mountains and spotted a little cluster of mushrooms pushing up through the soil, you’ve already brushed up against a world that’s far bigger, older, and stranger than most of us realize.

We show up on Saturday mornings without thinking twice. We grab our berries, snag a few tomatoes, wait in line for Acme’s croissants or Peaceful Belly’s roasted peppers (iykyk), pick out flowers, wander around with a coffee, take our out-of-town friends.

After years of freelance writing for other people, I wanted to write stories in my own voice and about things I actually cared about. I started From Boise to explore things happening around town, connect with people doing cool and creative work, and capture all the little things that make Boise such a cool place to live.
