2025 RESIDENT CREATIVES
Through our creative residency pilot program, we are honored to present three local artists working across many disciplines and mediums, with upcoming installations for ILLUMiBRATE 2025: To The Moon And Back. These artists have worked closely with JUMP for the last 6 months, teaching us about the Boise art scene and expanding our definitions of art. We hope you appreciate their work as much as we do.
