Exhibitions
The Bascom raises the bar on what’s happening in art in Western North
Carolina and beyond. Rotating exhibitions are the heart of its fine art
programming. Exhibitions relate to the studio art classes and other
cultural programming offered. Themed displays and juried shows create a
community buzz, plus generate enthusiasm and an urge for visitors to
learn more about a particular genre. The Bascom’s exhibitions offer
inspiration to explore, enjoy, learn, and create.
