Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Established thirty years ago as a non-profit center for visual arts, this six-acre campus sits on the grounds of a former horse farm, encircled by lush forest and boasting a sculpture trail, antique covered bridge, a brook, and waterfall.
  • The stylish, rustic-modern gathering spaces are a blend of vintage and contemporary architecture, featuring both restored historic buildings and new construction utilizing repurposed materials. Their open, flexible layouts have been designed to highlight the surrounding natural beauty.
  • Your rental fees help ensure the legacy of The Bascom, and its unique mission within the region as a priceless support for the local artistic community, and resource for future artists and art-appreciators alike.
