The Southern Highland Reader

HIGHLANDS–Bored with traditional Thanksgiving-weekend trappings? Then head to The Bascom this week with out-of-town guests for three eclectic visual art exhibitions on the art center’s six-acre historical campus. “American Art Today, Juried Works,” featuring more than 40 pieces from artists across the nation, is in the Main Gallery; “The Shopping Bag: Exemplary Art and Design” (above), featuring a collection of historical bag samples from the Newark (N.J.) Public Library, is in the Loft Gallery; and “Enchanted Forest,” featuring creations by The Bascom’s youth art students, is in the Children’s Gallery. Admission is always free. Hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Thanksgiving Day). While on-campus, also hike The Bascom’s Nature Trail or do some browsing in the Shop, which offers unique, handcrafted items by local and regional artists. For more information, call (828) 526-4949 or visit www.thebascom.org.
