Last year, the 1st Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival was a huge success and received accolades that placed Boise on the map of other high caliber music festivals from around the world. The festival received significant coverage in both the Boise Weekly and Idaho Statesman "Thrive," and was awarded a grant from the Idaho Commission on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts. In addition, last year's sponsors, who graciously helped fund the event, included the Boise CO-OP, 3 Shapes Aikido, Boise Weekly, Visual Arts Collective, Audio Lab, Good Boy Rufus Graphics, and Boise Community Radio.

The 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival will be a three-day music event occurring on April 26-28, 2007 at Visual Arts Collective art gallery in Boise's Linen District. The festival will feature 23 performances and 18 artists from around the country, including several major representatives of the experimental, avante-garde, and creative music genres from New York, Chicago, California, Seattle, Wisconsin, and British Columbia. This program will truly be a stellar and mind-blowing event for enthusiasts of creative and innovative music art.

Because the Boise Experimental Music Festival is fundamentally a non-profit event, it cannot occur without the support from local businesses, organizations, and individuals, who value and wish to support artistic diversity in the area. In order to cover event costs and help fund travel expenses for top notch artists from around the country, this event cannot proceed without financial donations and sponsorship.
