Always a new art exhibit and an excellent gift shop Loved Into the Wood Exhibit. Venue Epoxy and wood beautifully designed by three generations of very talented men. Don't miss their Presidential video with Jimmy Carter. Polish the most beautiful parts of family for 3 generations and create... a Presidential moment that is worth visiting.

The Bascom is a real gem for our communities up here on the Plateau. They have amazing guest artists, a big shop with beautiful pieces of artwork for sale, all mediums, and they offer a wide variety of classes to the public. Really really an exceptional place to go. Be sure to get on their email list so you can see what artists are coming. And if you're a visitor to the area, it's a wonderful place to spend a rainy day if you cannot go hiking or to see waterfalls.

Wonderful little gem! Lots to see here, including a workshop with a helpful guy showing you how he’s glazing pots, as well as a nice nature walk. The exhibits were amazing, especially the wooden bowls. Who would have thought that wooden bowl carving could be so fascinating?

Honestly, I would never have known about the Bascom if it weren’t for a work related activity, and not knowing was a waste. This place is very cool and has a focus on local artists which adds to the appeal. In addition they host classes and workshops which I’m hoping to participate in in the future. If I remember correctly admission to the exhibits is free and definitely worth checking out. When we went they had a very nice artist in residence exhibit of black and white photos from local nature which was great to see. They also had an exhibit on a family of bowl turners which was impressive due to the scale of the pieces on display. If you go, you won’t be disappointed.

We visited without really understanding the nature of this facility. But the main b ldg houses a marvelous set of galleries with rotating exhibits. The main display thru June was the turned wood pieces from a family of turners. The earliest pieces are from the grandfather. Both son and grandson followed in his footsteps and further refined and perfected the craft. The bowls and other turned art pieces are amazing. The continuous play video helped to understand how turning is done. The second floor contained art exhibits of glass, ceramic, and metal pieces done in a green power industrial park. The building itself is worth seeing. A reclaimed and interiorly modernized barn with reclaimed wood floor and beams is a sight in itself. Worth the trip

Love that you pull off the road and pass through the relocated, covered bridge, then see the beautiful rustic, repurposed structures of The Bascom. Be sure to ask the staff about them.The grounds have a great trail and sculptures to enjoy. The main building has wonderful exhibits in several galleries. The gift shop is filled with beautiful, unique art from a variety of artists with a wide choice of mediums, priced to fit every budget. Literally something for everyone!If you're wanting to create, they have classes for kids, adults, too.It's a must see when on the plateau.
