Start or finish at Modern Art, the Modern Hotel's annual creative extravaganza.

It is the biggest thing happening, but don't miss everything else that's going on.

Make sure you check out the Artists in Residence showcase in BoDo,

"The Art of Politics," with more than 50 art items for silent auction at

Berryhill and Co., and the rest of the art, music and culture throughout

Downtown Boise at the lively monthly gallery stroll.

Events are from 5 to 9 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
