A Colorful Partnership
Written By: Zach Claxton - Highlands-Cashiers Art League | Issue: 2015/05 - May
A mutually beneficial partnership has existed for several years between The Bascom and the Art League of Highlands-Cashiers. The Bascom makes space available for the ALHC board meetings and its monthly programs. Both organizations have web site links to each other. Bascom eblasts include mention of ALHC for partnership programs and for ALHC programs that directly relate to current Bascom exhibitions. The ALHC outreach partnership is listed in The Bascom’s annual catalogue and on its web site. A recently produced Bascom video of ALHC is posted on Facebook and YouTube, and is included in a loop playing in The Bascom atrium. ALHC members assist the Bascom in summer youth art camps. Through The Bascom’s community outreach programs, that partnership has expanded and new initiatives are in the works.
On Monday, June 1, the ALHC monthly program will be given by The Bascom staff and will include a description of present and planned Bascom-ALHC partnership opportunities including opportunities and benefits of volunteer work at The Bascom. Annual catalogues will also be available for all attendees.
Following this presentation, there will be a docent-led tour of Stephen Knapp’s New Lightpaintings exhibit in the main gallery. This exhibit features examples of a stunning art form new to the 21st Century. Bascom personnel will then lead attendees on a tour of the two Open Studios, their equipment and a discussion of how to become involved. This tour will showcase the recent expansions of both the Ceramics Barn, focused entirely on clay, and the new ground level Open Studio designed for other mediums, such as painting, printmaking and drawing.
This meeting is not to be missed and will be an excellent opportunity for ALHC members and the general public to learn more about the exciting recent changes at both The Bascom and ALHC. Social time begins at 4:30 P.M. with light refreshments, followed by the presentation at 5:00 P.M. The Art League of Highlands-Cashiers looks forward to seeing you there.
