Every two years, the City of Boise dubs a new Cultural Ambassador for an organization or program that elevates Boise’s arts and cultural scene. Now, the city has given the honor to MING Studios, an international art center and residency program in downtown Boise. We learn more about the Cultural Ambassador award – which comes with a cash grant – and MING’s accomplishments to earn them the designation.
