About
Xanadu Boise
​
​
We encourage the community to participate by teaching, starting a group, or by attending and learning. Many projects are constantly in process and joining one can be a great experience.
​
For more details about what goes on, you can go to our Calendar, check out rental or lease rates, or look at the ongoing programs.
Your help counts.
We are all part of a community, and it is our responsibility to bolster that community however we are able.
Our Charter
In conjunction with Idaho Burners Alliance, Xanadu seeks to coalesce an already vibrant and talented group of people around a single entity, to focus our efforts on creating new art, provide a place to conduct training and education, and to encourage learning and participation in art, technology and science.
The goal of inclusion is part of our desire to find ways to combat loneliness, isolation, feelings of suicide or depression, and to bring in those that might otherwise not know how to take part in community. Old or young, all income levels and ability. We hope to create increasing ways for everyone to belong.
In whatever way we are able, IBA will strive to clear the path toward these efforts by providing materials, grants, space, and new avenues to pursue knowledge.
Idaho Burners Alliance is housed at Xanadu, named for Kublai Khan's summer capital. Xanadu was noted by Marco Polo for its incredible artistry and vast creativity. Through the efforts of IBA members, Xanadu (or "Xu" as it has been affectionately nicknamed) is being transformed to fit the needs of the community.
Conclave Room
Reflections Room
Sunset Room
We lease space and rent hourly, both. We offer classes and programs and we DO encourage people to instruct and charge to make money for their efforts. So, yes, you can rent space and then charge for your class or event. We also encourage making things out of Xanadu that you can sell or for a grant you received. We can help.

Wednesday evenings are build night for many big art projects, so it is a good time to stop by and see what's happening.
