Northwest Booking Conference 2006 - Boise, ID
Northwest Booking Conference 2006 - Boise, ID
Monday, October 23, 2006
Various
Boise,
Idaho
In the early 1980s, the Booking conference was always held in Eugene Oregon. The state of Oregon was solely responsible for the conference and almost all the artists that showcased were from Oregon. In 1985, the first efforts to make Arts Northwest a true tri-state based conference were initiated. Oregon and Washington were struggling financially to produce a conference and Idaho was beginning to make investments in arts presenting. At this time, Marilyn Sabella as Idaho Commission on the Arts Chair convened and chaired a tri-state task force to explore the possibility of having a booking conference which was supported by all three state arts agencies to service the three state region. The booking conference as we now know it was born with the support of Idaho, Washington and Oregon Arts Commissions. As a result, the conference started rotating between the three states to a variety of cities.
