Basin Arts has a few new family members!

In our third year here at Basin Arts, we have rearranged our artists spaces because one of our resident artists was starting to grow a bit too large for his space, lost one artists to her new mom duties, but we have added some new faces to the ever growing #containerforcreativity! Get to know these new artists and their work. First up we have Cory Stewart, he is a portrait painter, comedy writer, and film director. He enjoys doing most of his paintings on panes of glass! You can check an instillation by Corey in our Gallery starting November 10th,...

Why should someone come to Basin Arts
25 September2018September 25, 2018

Why should someone come to Basin Arts

WHY SHOULD SOMEONE COME TO  BASIN ARTS? Sharon Leahy, our  wise and fabulous tap teacher, shared these words about why you should come to Basin Arts…she says “You should come to Basin to be part of the artistic process, inspiration, research, exploration, and evaluation… who wouldn’t want to be part of that?” Why else should you come to Basin Arts? Take a look… We hope you can visit soon and visit often! Our third year has officially began! Special thanks to Greta Gerstner for the filming and editing and to all of our special guests for sharing!  #iambasinarts #basinarts #basinartscommunity #whatisbasinarts #acontainerforcreativity #lafayettela

Ambush #4 started at Reve and made it’s way down Jefferson St to The GreenRoom. Two strangers, Coffee Girl and Java Boy, outside of a coffee shop going through the motions of everyday life.
