The Bascom presents our 6th annual juried Member Challenge: PLACE, an exhibit in our Thompson Gallery.

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.
