EDITOR’S NOTE GRANTING WISHES The only thing that gives us more joy each year than our Boise Weekly Cover Art Auction is distributing funds from the auction in the form of grants to local arts organizations. We’re proud as punch to report that since the inception of the auction in 2002, we’ve sent more than $170,000 in grants to scores of nonprofits. This year, BW had some top-drawer talent—Idaho Commission on the Arts Director Michael Faison, Idaho Shakespeare Festival Managing Director Mark Hofflund and Boise City Department of Arts & History Director Terri Schorzman—to help us select the 2019 grantees. This year’s winners are: Art Deck-O: $500 to assist its seventh-annual show on Friday, May 3, at the Visual Arts Collective. Boise Open Studio Collective (BOSCO): $1,500 to assist its 2019 local artists’ studio events. Global Lounge: $500 to assist its three-day 2019 World Village Festival, Friday, June 21, through Sunday, June 23. Hermit Music Festival: $3,335 to assist its Boise Old Time event in late August, which kicks off this year’s festival. Surel’s Place: $1,290 to assist Artist-in-Residence Lynn Webster in April. Here’s a reminder that this year’s Boise Weekly Cover Auction will be Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Visual Arts Collective. And you may want to make an extra note to preview all of this year’s cover art prior to the auction at a month-long exhibition at Evermore Prints on Main Street in September. —George Prentice, Editor

SUBMIT Boise Weekly is proud to publish local art on our cover each week, but
submissions for cover space are currently closed due to an overwhelmingly positive response from local artists that has filled up our roster through September. We plan to reopen submissions on Thursday, August 1, for cover slots beginning in October. When submissions reopen, one stipulation of publication is that the piece must be donated to BW’s annual charity art auction in October. A portion of the proceeds from the auction are reinvested in the local arts community through a series of private grants for which all artists are eligible to apply. Cover artists will also receive 30 percent of the final auction bid on their pieces. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds support our journalistic mission. To submit your artwork for the cover, bring it to BWHQ at 523 Broad St. on Wednesdays or Thursdays. All original works are accepted. Thirty days from your submission date, your work will be ready for pickup if it’s not chosen to be featured on the cover. Work not picked up within six weeks of submission will be discarded.
