For all, We are Grateful
Written By: Karen Patterson | Issue: November - 2022
“The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
Each day at The Bascom, we witness the creative activity of students at work in our studios, the “aha” moments of visitors looking at works on exhibit, the joys of being on our campus admiring the historic Will Henry Stevens Bridge or walking the Horst Winkler sculpture trail. And it seems to us that gratitude multiplies as the wonders of seeing, thinking, and doing are made available and we witness the power of art in our lives.
And our gratitude extends to all who make this daily experience possible. From the visitors, students and studio members who bring their eager energy to their participation, to the volunteers who keep activities going, and to supporters who through time and treasure make all things possible. We also cherish our community partners who share with us a commitment to the role of the arts in supporting the growth and wellness of individuals and communities. And thank you also to our talented and dedicated staff who bring their best selves to work every day in service to art and its abundance.
We thank all of you who bring your curiosity, good energy, and passion for creating and experiencing the visual arts to our doors.
Drive through the covered bridge and enjoy our campus and the world of imagination it evokes, and let us all experience gratitude during the season of Thanksgiving.
