SVMoA is open!

In the interest of our community’s health, SVMoA is adhering to CDC guidelines and the Governor of Idaho’s orders as we invite people to The Museum, classes and programs. We ask visitors to The Museum and class participants to wear masks and abide by social distancing recommendations. Anyone who feels ill or who lives with someone who is ill should stay at home. We will limit the number of people in all our program spaces to assure everyone is able to maintain a safe distance. Thank you for your cooperation.

We are working tirelessly to tailor our typical events-focused programming to the current climate in light of COVID-19 and will keep you updated on developments and changes. In the meantime, all of us at SVMoA and CoF will continue to channel our innermost creativity to bring the arts to YOU!

Mon–Fri, 10am–5pm, Sats in February, March, July & August, 11am–5pm
