The Bascom – See, Think, Do
Written By: Teresa Osborn | Issue: 2020/10 - October
Curious Terrain: WNC from the Air in the Bunzl Gallery features stunning aerial photographs of the Western North Carolina region by Alex S. MacLean, an artist and pilot with over 45 years of experience taking images from the bird’s-eye perspective of an airplane. Newly-commissioned by the WCU Fine Art Museum, MacLean’s striking images of the seven western-most counties of North Carolina capture the unique qualities of the region’s built environment, while also raising broader questions about humanity’s impact on the land through agriculture, energy, industry, and housing.
Craft to Art: Fiber, curated by John C. Campbell Folk School Executive Director Jerry Jackson, is in the Thompson Gallery. This annual look at one medium highlights beautiful historical pieces as well as amazing work from contemporary artists.
The Juried Members Challenge features work chosen by guest juror Jean McLaughlin, former Executive Director of Penland School of Crafts.
The Bascom Shop always features work for sale from local and regional artists and the 9th Annual Dave Drake Studio Pottery Show will be October 16-17. Finally, you can check out thebascom.org and see what classes or workshops you can take, or you can schedule a private art lesson.
The Bascom creates visual art experiences that inspire and empower individuals and communities through seeing, thinking, and doing!
