Spring Exhibition Reception

Celebrating:
• Emergence: A Survey of Southeastern Studio Programs
• Winter Resident Artist Exhibition by Casey Schachner
• Bascom Instructor Showcase

The season’s first reception centers on mentorship, material exploration, and the many ways artists learn from one another across generations. The afternoon begins with a 2 pm artist talk by Casey Schachner, The Bascom’s 2025–2026 Winter Resident Artist, who will discuss the process-driven sculptural investigations that shape her residency exhibition. Following the talk, guests are invited to join the reception, meet participating faculty and student artists from across the Southeast, and engage with Bascom instructors whose practices inform the foundation of our educational programs. The event cultivates an atmosphere of dialogue and shared curiosity, offering visitors a beautiful introduction to the year’s exhibition season.

Exhibition Receptions at The Bascom

Each season, The Bascom welcomes the community to gather for a series of exhibition receptions that honor the range of artistic expression found in our galleries. These events highlight both contemporary practice and historical perspectives, offering space to encounter new work alongside significant works from the past. Receptions provide a meaningful opportunity to speak with artists, curators, and other contributors, gaining insight into the ideas, histories, and processes that shape each exhibition. Visitors may also enjoy connecting with fellow art enthusiasts in an informal, welcoming environment. Light refreshments are served, encouraging conversation and a shared sense of discovery across our campus.
