As members of the local business community as well as Idaho residents, Ultimate Property Management has simply been astonished at the wealth of artistic talent residing here. Ultimate Property Management has been so impressed and wanted to do our small part to showcase this talent to out-of-state investors, future residents, and potential visitors.
Last fall UPM launched its Local Arts Program. During Phase I UPM invited local photographers to exhibit their images of Idaho on our website. UPM was pleased to host the work of four photographers, some absolutely gorgeous photographs. In Phase II, which just went live yesterday, UPM has expanded the repertoire to include paintings, drawings, collages, sculpture, glass and metal work, and murals. And UPM will continue to expand the program over time, find new ways to showcase the art.
Here is the link to the Local Arts Program section of our website:

The general URL for UPM is: www.upm-idaho.com
UPM would be delighted to have your team inform artists about this program, to have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of awareness about the extraordinary talents here in Idaho. And as mentioned, UPM plans to expand the program beyond the website.

your creative fancy.
