    Have you ever wondered where artists get their ideas? What inspires a painter to put a picture on canvas? What inspires a songwriter to write words and a melody?

    The Boise Open Studio Collective wanted to explore what inspires artists to make art so they asked songwriters to give a song to a visual artist, that artist then created a painting inspired by the song, then painters gave songwriters a painting to inspire them to write a new song.

    The result is an interactive exhibit at JUMP on Thursday, Dec. 7 called “Art as Song, Song as Art."

    Cindi Walton, the Boise Open Studios Collective events chair, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    There are only 55 eye banks in the United States and Boise is home to one of them.

    The goal of these facilities is to help restore the sight of thousands of people each year through the generosity of people who agreed to donate their eye tissue after they have passed on.

    November is eye donation month and the nonprofit group Envision Eye Bank is trying to get the word out about what they do and how people can help provide the gift of sight. In the last year, they recovered 248 pairs of corneas.

    Jay Lugo, Executive Director of Envision, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    The City of Boise is rapidly approaching the completion of The Franklin, an affordable housing apartment complex in the Central Bench area. And along with retail spaces it includes a childcare facility for 80 kids, ranging in age from infants to pre-k.

    Last month, Giraffe Laugh Early Learning Center broke ground on the new facility, which will help alleviate the shortage of childcare options and provide help for families struggling economically by meeting them where they live.

    Cassandra Wagner, Giraffe Laughs Philanthropy Director, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    The West has tens of thousands of wild horses. And sometimes it seems there are almost as many opinions on what to do with them.

    In a new podcast Mustang, Ashley Ahearn examines controversies surrounding the horses -- and works to train one.

    As we approach the fourth anniversary of the emergency of COVID-19, as well as the Doctors Roundtable, we thought we'd take some time to look back at the last year of public health - which turned out to be a busy one.

    Despite the official end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, there were plenty other health issues including the emergence of some new coronavirus strains, and other diseases that made their way around the world, like m-pox, malaria and polio.

    In response we saw new vaccines for these viruses, but we also saw plenty of shortages of critical drugs, from Adderall to life-saving cancer medications.

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System joined Idaho Matters to review this last year.
