Art Makin’ & Storytellin’
Written By: Billy Love, The Bascom | Issue: June 2023
If you’re a full-time Plateau person, a par t-time resident, heck, even if you’re just passing through, consider this an invitation to The Bascom’s Community Day 2023, set for July 1 at 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.
Community Day 2023 is coming up on Saturday July 1! For over a decade, The Bascom has welcomed the surrounding communities and visitors to the Plateau to join us for a day of hands-on artmaking for children and families, artist demonstrations, storytelling, fresh popcorn and more! This is a free event and open to the public.
This year’s event will host some exciting new activities in partnership with our friends in the community. The Highlands-Cashiers Hospital will be bringing their Teddy Bear Clinic with a fun photo booth to The Bascom Terrace, the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust will be hosting a conservation-centered interactive booth, and the Jackson County Green Energy Park from Dillsboro, NC will be providing glass blowing demonstrations with their mobile glass forge.
As always, there will be hands on art activities in ceramics, printmaking and quilting, and a collaborative community mural that will be displayed in the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital
following the event. Three exciting new exhibitions will be on display in the galleries, and the retail shop has beautiful handmade work from local and regional artists.
The Bascom would like to thank our Community Day sponsor for 2023, the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital. We are pleased to partner with such an important community resource that believes in the visual arts as a catalyst for community well-being.
The fun happens from 11:00 A.M. – 2:00 P.M. on The Bascom campus at 323 Franklin Rd., Highlands, NC.
