The Art Base celebrated a big milestone on Nov. 10: acquiring the deed to the Three Bears building in downtown Basalt. After quietly launching its “Our Home, Our HeART” campaign earlier this year, the local art nonprofit raised enough to secure the funding to secure The Art Base as a permanent home for artistic expression and education in the Valley.
“Every dollar that once went toward the mortgage can now go directly back into The Art Base’s mission: fostering creative expression in the visual arts, for all ages and abilities, through education and exhibitions,” read a press release.
Before heading across the street to pay off the mortgage, youngsters helped decorate a large check that was deposited at Alpine Bank.
