Join us for a special afternoon to celebrate the work of local artist, Edward Basker.
Tribute Exhibit to Renowned South Bend Artist: Edward Basker
The opening night exhibit is set to feature close to 50 original watercolor paintings and sketches dating back to as early as the 1940’s, by the renowned South Bend artist, Edward Basker (1908-1972). This showing will feature selected works from museums, private individuals, public spaces, and the artist’s family, all gathered into a public display for any art enthusiast to enjoy. Such works to be displayed are landscapes gathered from both local regions and across the country in Basker’s extensive travels. His style remains distinctive more than fifty years later, giving a scene a recognizable presence, yet not directly picturesque, almost giving the viewer a sense of Déjà vu.
This event from is expected to gather many individuals who knew the artist personally as well as many members of the artist’s family.
Features: numerous public meeting rooms, public computers, wireless laptops and iPads for in-house use and vending area.
