Welcome, Artists.
The Alexa Rose Foundation is devoted
to uplifting art appreciation and artists in the greater Boise area.
Alexa Rose Howell, a native New Yorker, lived with her husband in Boise for 40 years, until her death in 2013. Alexa was a painter, a writer and poet, an actress, a puppeteer, a linguist, a pianist, a dancer, a teacher, a supporter of young artists, and a devoted wife and mother.
Since 2015, Alexa’s Foundation, initiated by her husband Ken Howell in her honor and memory, has awarded over 500 artists with grants of $500 to $5,000.
Today, The Foundation is proud to support Idaho artists through an annual grant cycle, fellowship program, and various public art initiatives throughout the
Treasure Valley.
