Serving as a testimony to the life and work of American artist, James Castle, and rooted in Castle’s sense of wonder and discovery, the house today is a center for contemporary and historical exhibits, tours, performances, talks, an Artist-in-Residence program, and community partnerships. Both the historic buildings and the new wing invite you to explore the spaces unique only to James Castle. Opening April 2018.

Located in Boise’s Collister neighborhood, the center consists of the original Castle family home, two historically significant outbuildings where James Castle lived and worked, and an outdoor convening space. The house itself dates back, in part, to the early 1900s, and features a guest room accommodating the residency program, an artist studio, exhibition space, and the General Store, carrying books and gifts inspired by James Castle and his artwork.
