Sprout Film Festival

The Arc is proud to announce that we are presenting the First Annual Sprout Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre on October 22, 2011.

Sprout is a unique opportunity to experience film and video related to the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities as subjects and performers remain marginalized in the media. The Sprout Film Festival aims to raise their profile by showcasing works of all genres featuring this population.

Shop For Good!

The Boise Co-op is a member owned cooperative located in the heart of Boise’s north end. Every month the Co-op selects a group of non-profit organizations to compete in a poll that allows the community to decide on a winner. The non-profit with the highest number of votes is then awarded a Shop For Good Day at The Co-op. The winning non-profit will get 4% of the total store and Wine Shop sales for that day.

Fit for Life

This year Fit for Life will partner with The Arc to collect clothing items to support programs for Treasure Valley’s citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Most folks think of The Arc as “that group that helps me clean out my closet when they call for clothing donations.” Many are not aware that The Arc has been serving the valley for 55 years to ensure that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families have the supports they need to live a fulfilling life.
