The Bascom presents our 6th annual juried Member Challenge: PLACE, an exhibit in our Thompson Gallery. As makers and creators, human beings experience the world as both a place given to them and as a place they can mark, shape, and mold. The places that become homes to us offer familiarity, comfort, and even companionship. Join The Bascom in embracing PLACE as our annual theme for 2022.
The Members Challenge is The Bascom's longest running exhibition and provides an important opportunity for Bascom community artists
In December 2006 Betsy Paul painted a picture for the company Christmas card, and two clients offered to buy it. So she decided to auction the painting and donate the proceeds to the Cashiers-Glenville Fire Department. Years later, the art benefit is still going strong. Art benefit tickets are $5 each and are available for purchase every month (only 100 tickets sold monthly). There is also the option of purchasing a “season ticket” for $60 which gives you one chance to win on each drawing for the next 12 months. The paintings are on display at Betsy Paul Properties. Come by during office hours (Mon-Sat 9-5) to view and purchase ticket(s). The office is located at 870 Highway 64 West next to the historic Toll House. Or if you prefer you can mail your check, payable to the Cashiers-Glenville Fire Department, to Betsy Paul Properties, P. O. Box 713, Cashiers, NC 28717.

Bluegrass Wednesday with Nitrograss is back at The Ugly Dog!
Explore The Bascom's 2022 theme of "Place" through the lens of Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust properties.
Our mountains are among some of the oldest in the world. Over time, geologic processes have resulted in a complex landscape that is home to a great diversity of habitats for plants and animals. Home to more flowering plant species than anywhere else in the temperate zone, 250 are found nowhere else but here.
The plateau is the second wettest place in the continental U.S., contains a great number of high peaks, and of course the highest and greatest number of waterfalls in the eastern U.S. Our mountains feed the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico watersheds flowing through six major rivers and providing drinking water throughout the southeast.
These mountains have been inhabited by humans for a long time. Early Highlanders recognized that the forests and scenic views were at risk and banded together in 1909 to conserve an iconic mountain called Satulah, adding to that Sunset and Sunrise Rocks at Ravenel Park in 1914. This effort led to the creation of the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust which has now conserved over 3,700 acres in 127 places.
It is the deep love of and also need for our wild and natural places that drives these conservation triumphs.
The Bascom is pleased to continue its ongoing programmatic partnership with the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, reimagining the relationship through works in the photographic medium. The images in this exhibition present an artistic interpretation by regional photographers of the beauty, bio-diversity, and expanse of the properties that the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust stewards, and that help define the plateau as a place like no other.
