The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho (TAM) will welcome visitors at no charge this Saturday, thanks to generous sponsorship from the Idaho Environmental Coalition. This special Free Admission Day offers families, art enthusiasts, and holiday shoppers an opportunity to explore the museum's current exhibitions while browsing unique, handcrafted gifts at Beaux Boutique, the museum's specially curated holiday pop-up shop.
The free Saturday admission program represents part of TAM's ongoing mission to make arts and culture accessible to the entire community. Through the Idaho Environmental Coalition's support, visitors can engage with current exhibitions, connect with the local arts community, and enjoy a meaningful cultural experience without the barrier of admission fees. This initiative demonstrates the museum's commitment to serving residents from all economic backgrounds.
Visitors are encouraged to explore Beaux Boutique during their visit, which features a carefully selected collection of one-of-a-kind, locally crafted holiday gifts. The boutique showcases artwork, jewelry, prints, ornaments, ceramics, accessories, and other distinctive items perfect for seasonal giving. These pieces highlight the work of talented regional artists and provide an opportunity for community members to support local creativity while finding gifts unavailable elsewhere.
"This is a perfect weekend to visit," said Maya Peters-Greño, the museum's registrar. "Free Saturday makes it easy for everyone to experience art together, and Beaux Boutique is full of beautiful, meaningful pieces for holiday giving." Her comments emphasize both the accessibility aspect of the program and the quality of items available in the museum's holiday shop.
The museum will maintain its regular Saturday operating hours for this special event, ensuring all community members can participate. Interested visitors can find additional information by visiting www.theartmuseum.org, calling (208) 524-7777, or stopping by the museum's location at 300 S. Capital Ave. in Idaho Falls.
