Across the country, downtowns are experiencing a renaissance of great
music, art, museums and breathtaking renovations of beautiful old buildings.
Visit 'Historic Downtown Idaho Falls' for these "must see" facilities which include the Willard Arts Center/Colonial Theater, the Museum of Idaho (the largest museum in the state!), the Eagle Rock Art Museum, Actors Repertory Theatre of Idaho, and, of course, the Idaho Falls Public Library.
Hanging out downtown is now a visual arts delight, thanks to "Art You Can Sit On." The Idaho Falls Historic Downtown Foundations unveiled 18 "sculptural seats." The seating not only allows pedestrians a resting place, it is now a delightful art attraction that will draw visitors to the downtown cultural district in Historic Downtown. The works are visually stunning. Some capture images of the Snake River and local wildlife while others are more whimsical including a skateboard, stack of pillows, and a bench with legs and feet.
The Idaho Falls Cultural District includes many other important ingredients such as the commercial art galleries, glass and ceramic studios, dance studios, a film theatre (Centre Theater) that shows independent films and Chesbro Music Company with the largest offering of printed music in the west. Delightful public art such as the Fur Trapper on B Street, Wilson Rawls statue on the Library Lawn, historic Taylor’s Crossing replica and Japanese Stone Lanterns in Sportsman Park graces the Cultural District. Finally, running right through the heart of the Cultural District is, of course, the beautiful Snake River, Greenbelt and Falls, Idaho Falls busiest tourist attraction.
Cultural District Walk: in April. The annual downtown cultural district walk is a fun filled day of art, music and cultural activities for families, with most events free unless otherwise noted. For more culture event information, contact the Idaho Falls Arts Council at: www.idahofallsarts.org
