Swell Artist Collective

Swell Artist Collective is an open studio and gallery space located in Boise's historic downtown. Formed in November of 2015 and managed by artists Julia Green, Noble Hardesty, Stuart Holland, Kelly Knopp, and Victor A. Jimenez, Swell is located on the lower level of the Old Mercantile Building in Boise's BoDo district.

By combining their individual artistic practices and ideas into a common space, the five artists' mission revolves around creating a vibrant studio and gallery environment that is open to the public and intent on helping bolster the community's rapidly-growing arts culture. Swell will be host to both First Thursday and independently organized artistic events while maintaining hours of operation during which people can visit.
