WAC Studios

The Idaho Falls Art Council has 9 artist studios on the second floor of the Willard Arts Center and one large basement office/studio on 440 N Capital. They are available to area artists as a place with huge potential for the artist and the community.

The studio gallery is open to the public during IFAC office hours - Monday through Thursday 9am - 5pm, Friday 9am - 3pm, and Saturday, 11 am - 3 pm. Individual artists open their studios at various times, including during the Idaho Falls Gallery Walk. You can follow IFAC on Facebook to be notified of open houses and other activities. The WAC studio artists have an annual exhibition of recent work in the Hall Gallery on the second floor of the Willard Arts Center.
