STORIES from BOISE
You’ve probably heard that Boise is getting a pro soccer team. Now, the club has a name, a look, and a bold new identity. Last Friday, Athletic Club Boise unveiled its name, crest, and branding to a fan base that is already showing up in force – thousands of locals attended the brand launch event. It’s the […]
The Race to Robie Creek returns to Boise in April, and President’s Day is your chance to get in on the fun. Billed as “the toughest race in the Northwest,” it’s a super challenging yet cherished Boise event is back again.

This story was written by Julie Sarasqueta Trying to explain the Idaho Shakespeare Festival to out-of-towners is, frankly, impossible. Sure, it’s a theater that puts on the works of the greatest English-language playwright, along with hundreds of other plays and musicals. And yes, it’s outside in a uniquely Idaho setting, but that doesn’t get to the heart […]
We are all familiar with Boise’s Basque community and its heritage of immigrant sheepherders in the area. But did you know that Scottish immigrants were moving to Idaho around the same time? On August 26, 1891, a small snippet ran in the Idaho Daily Statesman, within the News of the City section. It read: “Scotchman and sons of […]

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I should be posting on social media more often but I have 500 other things to do… and I also hate it,” you’re gonna like this story. 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.

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.
