The Idaho Humanities Council's mission is to provide opportunities to "deepen understanding of human experience by connecting people with ideas." The Council has met its mission for fifty years by offering support to and partnering with museums, libraries, schools, civic groups, and other organizations statewide to help develop projects on the local level that explore history, literature, law, anthropology, art and music history, and other humanities disciplines. The vision of the Idaho Humanities Council is that the humanities inspire a more literate, tolerant and intellectually inquisitive Idaho citizenry, better able to embrace life's possibilities.
