Crafting Possibility
Written By: Zach Claxton - Highlands-Cashiers Art League | Issue: April 2024
The Bascom’s Billy Love illuminates the journey of a dazzling year ahead.
There are a few versions of a poem, first penned by the famous poet, “Anonymous,” whose first words are “Spring has sprung…”
Spring has indeed sprung in Highlands, evidenced by the announcement of the first meeting of the Art League of Highlands-Cashiers’ 2024 season. This free event will be April 29, on The Bascom Terrace. All are invited to join us at 4:30 P.M. for a wine social, followed by a presentation at 5:00. What better way to kick off the 2024 season than with a tour of the current Bascom exhibitions hosted by Billy Love?
