LC State’s Center for Arts & History earns Idaho museum recognition

LEWISTON, Idaho – Lewis-Clark State College’s Center for Arts & History (CAH) has been selected for the Idaho Association of Museum (IAM) Museum of Excellence Award.

The award recognizes a museum that has demonstrated “excellence in its work, including in the areas of collection, preservation, research, interpretation, and education,” according to the IAM website.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from the Idaho Association of Museums,” said CAH Director Kristi Brown McPherson. “As part of LC State, the Center for Arts & History connects students and our community through meaningful experiences in art and history. This award celebrates the dedication of our staff, the creativity of our artists and the support of our campus and community partners who help make the Center a welcoming place for learning and discovery.”

The CAH aims to connect the LC State campus to the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley and Inland Northwest community through experiences in art, culture, and the humanities. Its centrally located downtown gallery allows the Center to provide arts- and humanities-inspired learning and creativity in conjunction with community-based events.
