About Us

The Idaho Artistry in Wood and Gourd Show is presented by Idaho Artistry in Wood, a non-profit Idaho corporation. Idaho Artistry in Wood is a collaboration of five clubs: Southwest Idaho Woodturners Association, Idaho Gourd Society, Idaho Woodcarvers Guild, Ada County Woodworkers, and Treasure Valley Scrollers. The show is run by a committee composed of representatives from each club. Each year a different club chairs the committee. For 2024 the Ada County Woodworkers have the chair.

The Idaho Artistry in Wood and Gourd Show provides the opportunity for artists to participate in a judged competition and display their work to the public. The show features the judged competition, special displays, live demonstrators, sale of wood and gourd art objects, vendors, raffles, auctions, and a banquet — plus a special featured artist.
