This holiday season, The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho invites the community to skip the big-box frenzy and discover gifts that tell a story. The museum’s annual Beaux Cadeaux Holiday Market is now open for an extended period as Beaux-tique, a pop-up market right in the museum’s lobby. Now open, Beaux-tique is filled with handcrafted treasures by local artists—some with long-standing creative ties to TAM, and others partnering with the museum for the very first time.
Visitors will find jewelry, pottery, ornaments, holiday cards, photography and one-of-a-kind home goods, thoughtfully made and perfect for gift-giving—or even a “just because” surprise. With a variety of price points, shoppers can find something special for every personality, every style and every stocking.
For art lovers seeking something truly extraordinary, pieces from the current international Society of Animal Artists exhibition, Art & the Animal, are also available for purchase. These original works are ideal gifts for outdoor enthusiasts, collectors and anyone who finds inspiration in the natural world. Or for a gift that gives back, consider honoring a loved one by purchasing a metal fish to be installed as part of the permanent sculpture wall on The Art Museum’s new Education Center.
And yes—even Santa knows where to shop. Legend has it he finds his most unique stocking stuffers in the TAM gift shop!
As part of the holiday festivities, visitors can also wrap up a museum membership for friends or family. Gift memberships come pre-packaged in festive gift bags—an inspiring present that lasts all year long.
“Supporting local artists while giving meaningful gifts is a win for everyone,” says TAM’s registrar, Maya Peters-Greño. “It keeps creativity alive in our region and places something thoughtful and original into the hands of the people you love.”
Beaux-tique is open during regular museum hours through the holiday season. Admission to shop is always free.
