The Colossal Collective | JUMP Park
The Colossal Collective is a group of Boise-based artists, engineers, builders, and performers who collaborate around a singular mission: to create magic and spread a sense of childlike wonder through their larger-than-life puppets.
Since forming in 2012, their creations make regular appearances at the ILLUMiBRATE, Treefort Music Festival, the Idaho Botanical Gardens, and art festivals throughout the region. They’re also frequently spotted roaming the streets of downtown Boise.
The group was founded by local artist Sam Johnson. Sam grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and studied fine art at Whitman College, and business administration at Boise State University. He is a firm believer that art should be experienced and interacted with, not just observed and consumed.
