The Boise City Department of Arts & History invites individuals and organizations to submit proposals for programs to be hosted at the Erma Hayman House.

Program proposals must align with the Erma Hayman House’s Mission Statement in that they will be inclusive, on-site public programs or experiences that seek to directly support, serve, and amplify Boise’s diverse community. 

Programs will be selected by a rotating committee composed of members of the community, Arts & History Staff, the Arts & History Commission, and the Erma Hayman House Task Force. Selections will be based on the following criteria: quality of the application, community benefit, and management.

The Erma Hayman House is not currently accepting private events, such as birthday parties, weddings, or corporate trainings, to occur on-site.

Applications are currently being accepted for programs that would occur between July - December 2023. Available dates and times for programs are identified in the application.

Deadline to apply: MAY 31, 2023
