The Art Base is pleased to present Inner Workings, an exhibition that brings together the artists who shape the Art Base on the ground, our staff and instructors from 2025. This lighthearted exhibition offers a look into the creative practices that unfold behind the scenes, highlighting the ideas, experiments, and personal work that run parallel to our community programs. Rather than a “secret life,” this show reveals the true character of our organization: a network of thoughtful, committed local artists whose practices embody our mission and values.  

Celebrating the voices and artistic expressions of Basalt High School students. The exhibition opens on December 12, 2025, and runs through December 27, 2025, at the Art Base, located in downtown Basalt.

This community-centered program offers students the opportunity to reflect on the concept of “home” — both the homes they’ve known in the past and the ones they are building here in the Roaring Fork Valley. Through bilingual instruction and artistic mentorship from Gabriela Mejia, students will create individual artworks and written reflections that explore their personal journeys, cultural identity, and unique experiences.
