Parks, Art & Beautification Committee

The Parks, Art, and Beautification Committee presents Art by the River, an annual juried fine arts and crafts show held the third weekend in September at the Star Riverhouse in Star, Idaho. Art by the River is set near the banks of the beautiful Boise River and features some of the finest artists, artisans and crafts people from southwest Idaho and the surrounding region.

The Traffic Signal Box Beautification project is a public art program intended to transform specific traffic signal boxes into distinctive works of art, creating a more vibrant, attractive community. The program celebrates local artwork, deters graffiti, and involves residents in contributing to the City of Star’s beautification.  Current traffic box art i located at the Star Mercantile & Ridley's Market.   Thank you to Ridley's and Steve's Auto Care for sponsoring these projects.

Volunteers from across the city join hands and rakes for our annual “Make Star Shine Day”, organized by the city's Parks, Art & Beautification Committee!  We will be assisting Star seniors and those unable to rake due to physical constraints in a fall leaf clean-up. Please bring your own rakes, leaf blowers, and gloves to the event.  Volunteers are also requested to assist with trash pick-up projects along the two PAB Adopt-a-Highway roadway locations.  Trash bags and orange vests will be provided (adults only for safety, please).   We meet at the Star Rive
