The Art of Collecting
Written By: Teresa Osborn | Issue: 2020/09 – September
We all collect something we love, and when you visit The Bascom you’re sure to find that something.
With a focus on local and regional artists in our Shop, you will always find work in wood, ceramics, glass, paper, and more. Whether it is an exquisite turned bowl by one of the world-renowned Moulthrops, an amazing crystalline glazed ceramic piece by our very own Director of Ceramics Frank Vickery, or a hand-cast glass sculpture by Alex Bernstein, all can be found in our Shop.
But, did you know that our exhibitions have been focusing on showcasing artwork from new, emerging artists as well as established artists? In our commitment to supporting artists, these works are typically for sale.
You might find amazing pottery by one of the artists featured in the Three Potters Retrospective, work from our very own members in the annual Member Challenge, or work from artists featured in Narrative, Abstraction, Iteration.
Should you find something in an exhibit you like, we do ask that you wait to pick up the piece after the close of the exhibition, but we promise it’s worth the wait!
Next time you’re at The Bascom, check out all the art. You might just find something to add to your collection. The easiest way to see what’s available in exhibits is to follow us on Facebook and Instagram, or check Current Exhibits at thebascom.org.
