YOUR COMMUNITY ART CENTER

SINCE 1996

The Art Base is a nonprofit community art center centered in the heart of downtown Basalt, CO. Our mission is to foster creative expression in the visual arts, for all ages and abilities, through education and exhibitions. The Art Base has welcomed the community into its gallery and classrooms to explore creative expression. We believe that we can better understand ourselves, each other, and the world through art and art making. Come join us!

Support the Art Base – Help Us Grow!

As a community art center and non-profit, we rely on generous supporters like you to keep creativity thriving!

As we grow, our commitment grows too:
Every child or adult who wants to participate in an art class should be able to — without barriers.

To sustain this momentum, we are counting on your support.
Will you consider making a year-end gift to help the Art Base expand our mission?

Your generosity makes all of this possible and is deeply valued and appreciated. Thank you for helping us make art accessible to everyone in our community!
