The James Castle House is a must see and a testament to Boise’s commitment to the arts. Impeccably curated and docent led tours are informative and educational. You’ll be glad you took the time to learn about one of Boise’s world renowned artists.

I love to visit the James Castle House. The art exhibits are always well curated and very interesting. It is especially fun and educational if you have the opportunity to participate in any of the art residency programs available.

Beautiful rebuilt structure for art exhibits, glad they preserved the shed to show how James Castle really lived.
