The State of Idaho is in the process of transitioning to a new enterprise system to modernize and standardize financial, operational, and human capital management for all state agencies, including the Idaho Commission on the Arts. Over the next several months, payments, reports, communications and other business processes may be temporarily interrupted or delayed. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this transition.
