Each year, we select works from our permanent collection coordinating with the annual theme. This year’s theme of origins gives the Bascom community an opportunity to explore our own sources of inspiration, dreams, and growth, that will be highlighted in this exhibition. The works will convey stories of The Bascom – from our founder George Watson Barratt to others whose works are entwined with our history, such as New Orleans painter Will Henry Stevens, and artists featured in our early permanent collection.
The Bascom has a vibrant history in Highlands, starting in one room of the Hudson Library and blossoming into the beautiful campus you see today. Please enjoy the Bascom Staff’s selection of work from our beginning years and we hope to have you watch as we continue to grow.
A free, public reception will be held Thursday, February 23 at 5pm at The Bascom to celebrate our three current winter exhibitions.
