In celebration of the nation’s Centennial anniversary of women’s suffrage, TAM is paying homage to women artists during the 2020–2021 exhibit season. Women Artists from the TAM Collection highlights artwork created by women from TAM's own permanent collection. The work is as diverse in subject matter and media as the unique women who created them. Included in this exhibition are many of the pioneering women responsible for eastern Idaho's rich artistic heritage.

“Now is the time, we, the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce), share our own story, with cultural integrity at the forefront... Historically and from this day forward people will be reminded that we have and always (will) be known for our vast connection to the land in which we originated from. Guiding and sharing our wisdom is in our DNA.” – Stacia Morfin, Owner and Operator, Nez Perce Tourism, LLC This special Virtual First Thursday and History Happy Hour Zoom event on July 2nd features Stacia Morfin and Janet Gallimore (Executive Director, Idaho State Historical Society) as they discuss how cultural institutions have a role in supporting the traditions and stories of Native American tribes, such as the Nez Perce. Moderator Alison Espindola (Event & Rental Coordinator, Idaho State Museum) will discuss with the two panelists what it takes to be a “cultural storyteller.” In addition to hearing the panelists perspectives you can participate in the conversation through the audience Q&A before the event by emailing events@ishs.idaho.gov or during the event in the chat bar.
