SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Chris Hassig - Returning
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 7 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nOn view: November 6 to December 4\, 2026 \n  \nChris Hassig (b. 1987) is an artist and community leader based in Carbondale\, Colorado whose intricate drawings and prints blur the boundaries between landscape\, abstraction\, and imagined worlds. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with mapping and mark-making\, Hassig’s work ranges from expansive multi-panel etchings of his fictional country\, Saiopor\, to densely detailed ink drawings inspired by close observations of nature. His practice merges precision and play\, incorporating printmaking\, cyanotype\, collage\, and sewn elements that highlight both meticulous craftsmanship and improvisation. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Art Lunch: Michael Kinsley and David Clark
DESCRIPTION:ART LUNCH with the artists Michael Kinsley and David Clark\nFriday\, October 23\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM\nIn the Art Base gallery  \n  \nJoin us for Art Lunch with our exhibiting artists Michael Kinsley and David Clark\, as we dine and discuss art and anything else! This is a great chance to walk through their current exhibitions\, Mount Sopris in Black and White and Sensuous Landscapes\, and ask questions or connect. \nArt Lunch is our routine excuse to gather around the table. Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. Some weeks we’ll toss in a discussion prompt to get things rolling\, but mostly it’s about food\, company\, and a potluck of ideas. \n  \n\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026 \nDavid Clark: Mt. Sopris in Black and White\nIn 2009\, David Clark boarded his horses at a ranch with a view of Mount Sopris. The owners of this ranch told David that they were tired of looking at the mountain because it “always looked the same”. \nTo prove that the mountain was anything but static\, he set out to photograph the “Queen of the Roaring Fork Valley” every day for 365 days. The resulting body of work\, One: One Year in the Life of Mount Sopris\, marked the beginning of what would become a 16-year exploration of the\niconic peak. \nSince then\, Clark has taken more than 3\,000 photographs of Mount Sopris\, documenting its changing personality\, light\, atmosphere\, and relationship to the landscape around it. In Mt. Sopris in Black and White\, sharp photography and deep contrast emphasize the mountain’s powerful presence while revealing the subtle changes that make each view distinct. Clark’s photographs celebrate Mount Sopris not simply as a landmark\, but as a constant presence in the lives of those who live in and visit the Roaring Fork Valley. His work honors the privilege of witnessing such a remarkable natural monument and captures its enduring force and grace through photography. \nAbout David Clark:\nDavid Clark was born in 1959 at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. He graduated from Duke University in 1981 with a degree in Geology and Geophysics and spent more than 20 years working in the oil and gas and computer software industries. Over the past 25 years\, Clark has developed his passion for and refined his skills in landscape photography. His photographs have appeared on magazine covers and in news articles\, as well as in large-scale installations in private homes throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. His work\, including his extensive collection of Mount Sopris photographs\, has been exhibited\, sold\, and recognized with awards at venues throughout the region. Today\, Clark continues to focus on photography\, capturing the beauty and changing character of Mount Sopris and sharing it with audiences near and far. \n  \nMichael Kinsley: Sensuous Landscapes\nMichael Kinsley is a self-taught painter and long-time valley resident who focuses on local landscapes. For Michael\, landscapes are more than just a scene; they invoke a feeling of peace. \nIn Sensuous Landscapes\, Kinsley combines improvisation\, abstraction\, and realism to create paintings that capture both the physical character and emotional energy of the places he encounters. His use of color\, shape\, and form introduces a sense of psychedelic looseness\, exaggerating elements of the landscape and freeing them from strict representation. The forms maintain their inherent naturalness while being liberated from the literal. \n“Because I can’t bear leaving Nature behind\, I roll Her up in oil paint and take Her home\,” says Kinsley. \nThrough his paintings\, Kinsley seeks to preserve moments in nature that may be changing or disappearing. His work reflects both an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and a recognition of its fragility\, encouraging continued protection and appreciation of the places that surround us. \nAbout Michael Kinsley:\nMichael Kinsley came to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1970\, drawn to the depth\, strength\, and engagement of the community. Shortly after arriving\, he became deeply involved in Aspen’s historic Freak Power and Hunter Thompson era. From 1975 to 1985\, he served as a county commissioner\, advancing environmental\, transit\, and social policies. Kinsley is also a mediator and facilitator and worked with the Rocky Mountain Institute from 1983 to 2016. In 2013\, he was inducted into the Aspen Hall of Fame. \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by Andrea Gurule\, State Farm\, and Cathers Home. The Art Base also extends its gratitude to Alpine Bank\, the 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, for its continued support of exhibitions at the Art Base. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Art Lunch: Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford
DESCRIPTION:ART LUNCH with the artists Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford\nFriday\, September 18\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM\nIn the Art Base gallery  \n  \nJoin us for Art Lunch with our exhibiting artists\, Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford\, as we dine and discuss art and anything else! This is a great chance to walk through their current exhibition\, A Sense of Place\, and ask questions or connect. \nArt Lunch is our routine excuse to gather around the table. Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. Some weeks we’ll toss in a discussion prompt to get things rolling\, but mostly it’s about food\, company\, and a potluck of ideas. \n  \n\nOpening Reception: Friday\, August 28\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, August 28 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: August 28 to September 25\, 2026 \nThe Art Base is pleased to present A Sense of Place\, a new exhibition featuring artists Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford. Though each artist works from a unique perspective\, the exhibition reveals the many ways place can be interpreted as something deeply personal and continually evolving.  \nFor Hogan and Ransford\, artists who have spent decades living and working in the Roaring Fork Valley\, the landscape is far more than scenery. Mountains\, rivers\, gardens\, and canyon walls become points of departure for work that explores both the external environment and the internal landscapes of experience and identity.  \n \nSara Ransford’s paper clay sculptures emerge from years of exploring the mountains\, rivers\, and canyons of the American West. Influenced by the forces of erosion\, deposition\, and water’s relentless ability to reshape the earth\, her layered forms mirror both geological time and the emotional accumulation of lived experience. The repeated building\, exposing\, and revealing within her sculptures echoes the ways personal histories become embedded over time. Also debuting in this exhibition is a new series of ceramic trays developed during artist residencies over the past four years\, where experimentation with multiple clay bodies and remnants of Japanese processes opened new avenues of exploration.  \nHunter Hogan approaches place through observation of the living world. Her paintings are built from drawings\, digital studies\, and layers of gouache that evolve through an intuitive process in the studio. Recent works were inspired by three months spent in South Africa\, where gardens\, vegetation\, and patterns found in nature became catalysts for abstraction. Rather than painting landscapes directly\, Hogan distills the experience of being immersed in them\, creating works that evoke the quiet complexity of the natural world.  \n \nFor Sam Harvey\, making is a way of responding to space and place. Working without a predetermined outcome\, he allows each object to emerge through an ongoing dialogue with clay\, testing ideas through making\, remaking\, and refining. Practical realities\, including the scale of his kiln and the physical limits of the material itself\, become active collaborators in the work. Clay\, drawn from the earth\, is both responsive and unpredictable; it can bend\, break\, or fail\, reminding us that some aspects of making can be controlled while others remain unknowable. Harvey continually asks how far a form can be pushed in a particular time and place\, inventing techniques as needed while exploring volume\, body\, and structure. His sculptures often recall walls\, vessels\, monuments\, and ancient built forms\, where hard edges retain the softness inherent to clay and become anchors for the space they occupy.  \nAlthough their practices differ\, meaningful connections emerge throughout the exhibition. Ransford’s layered geological forms\, Hogan’s botanical abstractions\, and Harvey’s sculptural objects each explore how place is built\, remembered\, and experienced. Together\, the artists reveal that our relationship with place is never static; it is continually shaped by time\, experimentation\, limitation\, discovery\, and renewal.  \nA Sense of Place invites viewers to slow down and reflect on their own connections to the spaces they inhabit and the places that continue to shape and inspire them.  \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by CCY Architects and Kathy Honea \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Art Lunch with Sabrina Piersol and Molly Altman
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 10\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nJoin us for Art Lunch with our exhibiting artist\, Savanna LaBauve\, as we dine and discuss art and anything else! This is a great chance to walk through their current exhibition\, Echoes\, and ask questions or connect. \nArt Lunch is our routine excuse to gather around the table. Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. Some weeks we’ll toss in a discussion prompt to get things rolling\, but mostly it’s about food\, company\, and a potluck of ideas. \nExhibition Details\nOpening Reception: Friday\, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, June 12 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: June 12 to July 24\, 2026 \nThe Art Base is pleased to present Floral Panic\, an exhibition featuring the ceramics of Molly Altman and the paintings of Sabrina Piersol. The exhibition explores the artists’ engagement with natural motifs and abstraction. By loosening the constraints of representation\, Altman and Piersol envision new\, unrestrained ecosystems. Please join the Art Base at our opening reception Friday\, June 12th from 5 – 7 PM\, with an art talk at 5:30 PM. Admission is free and open to the public.  \nThe worlds within these abstractions emerge from different motivations. For Altman\, there is an echo of the impossible bouquets of Dutch still life painting: arrangements that could never exist in nature and reflect on impermanence. Both appear to overcome natural limitations\, creating an uncanny sense of abundance. Altman begins by collecting local flora such as thistle\, mullein\, and amaranth\, coating them in multiple thin layers of liquified porcelain. After a meticulous process\, the works are fired in a kiln\, which vitrifies the clay while burning away the organic plant material and preserving its hollow shell. These delicate\, semi-translucent objects are then assembled at impossible densities to create rich\, lush environments.  \nPiersol approaches painting as a sensory collage—a combination of poetry\, energy\, and exploration. Floral imagery acts as a point of familiarity within her abstractions; its specificity grounds connections between poppies from California\, irises from Colorado\, and the mountains of Death Valley\, bridging distant settings. The spaces within the paintings often hold moments of instability\, as though their physics have not fully settled. For Piersol\, this instability is formally similar to the Sapphic texts of Ancient Greece: classical poetry that exists only in fragments yet leaves room for projection in the gaps.   \nFrom these processes\, fragility emerges as a central condition of being. In Altman’s work\, the thin translucent ceramics preserve the delicacy of flora by translating it into a material that retains vulnerability\, its intricacy demanding care. In Piersol’s paintings\, the soft instability of space allows color\, luminosity\, and form to gently overtake fixed logic with delight.   \nFor both artists\, flora behaves like a melody: a rich interior language shaped through encounters with the natural world.   \n  \nGenerously sponsored by Krista Klees and Palladium Group\, and Z Group Architecture & Interior Design \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Molly Altman and Sabrina Piersol "FLORAL PANIC"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, June 12 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: June 12 to July 24\, 2026 \nMolly Altman’s ceramic sculptures explore the fragile balance between resilience and impermanence in the natural world. Working with flora gathered from the Carbondale landscapes and flowers\, leaves\, vines\, and grasses\, she dips these materials in porcelain and fires them\, transforming organic forms into delicate\, ghostlike structures. By reassembling these elements onto hand-built ceramic frameworks\, Altman creates intricate micro-environments that echo the ecologies from which they came. Her work honors the abundance and vulnerability of the Roaring Fork Valley\, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship to a rapidly changing environment. \nSabrina Piersol’s paintings emerge from a spark of inspiration a loose sketch\, a color palette\, or a single natural form before unfolding into an intuitive\, responsive process. Guided by presence and improvisation\, she follows each mark as it appears\, allowing the composition to evolve with the same unpredictability and openness found in meditation. Her work prioritizes the relationships of color\, form\, and movement\, resulting in dynamic\, emotionally resonant paintings shaped by both intention and discovery. \nGenerously sponsored by Krista Klees and Palladium Group\, and Z Group Architecture & Interior Design \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Art Lunch with Savanna LaBauve
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 28\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nJoin us for Art Lunch with our exhibiting artist\, Savanna LaBauve\, as we dine and discuss art and anything else! This is a great chance to walk through their current exhibition\, Echoes\, and ask questions or connect. \nArt Lunch is our routine excuse to gather around the table. Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. Some weeks we’ll toss in a discussion prompt to get things rolling\, but mostly it’s about food\, company\, and a potluck of ideas. \nExhibition Details\nOn view: May 8 – June 6\, 2026\nLocation: The Art Base\, 174 Midland Ave\, Basalt\, CO\nAdmission: Free and open to the public \nPublic Events with the Artist:\nTextures of Topography\nOpening Reception Friday\, May 8\nFrom 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM\n \nPlease join us the night of Savanna LaBauve’s opening reception\, visitors are invited to make barefoot impressions in clay\, adding their marks to those already there. Over the course of the event\, these layers will overlap and change one another.

Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. \nClosing Reception with Savanna LaBauve \nSaturday\, June 6\n4:00 PM – 5:00 PM\nFree and open to the public\n\nJoin artist Savanna LaBauve at the close of Echoes for an artist talk and the unveiling of Textures of Topography. During the opening reception\, the community was invited to leave their barefoot mark on a large slab of clay — that piece has since been fired and returns to the gallery transformed. Come see what we made together\, hear more about the ideas behind the show\, and celebrate the close of the exhibition.\nAbout the Artist\nSavanna LaBauve is a ceramic artist based in Carbondale\, Colorado. With a background in painting and drawing\, her practice has evolved over the past six years into a deeply tactile exploration of form\, material\, and process. Her work investigates repetition\, memory\, and transformation through hand-built ceramic forms that balance structure and fragility.  \nAbout Echoes\n\nThe Art Base is pleased to present Echoes\, a solo exhibition by Carbondale-based ceramic artist Savanna LaBauve\, on view May 8 through June 6\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, May 8\, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM\, with an artist talk at 5:30 PM.  \nEchoes is a sister show to Orbit\, opening a few weeks later at Seesaw Gallery in South Denver; together\, the two shows thematically explore the idea of constellations and their points of intersection. In LaBauve’s practice\, echoes are the reverberations of previous choices and ideas\, returning from somewhere else slightly anew — distorted by time and experience. The connective tissue is what gets left behind\, and how that memory shapes what comes after.   \n\nThis exhibition is sponsored by Karen White Interior Design\, and we are grateful to our 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank. \n                       \n\nPresent in this exhibition are what LaBauve calls “portals” — rectangular forms built around a deliberate absence\, a cut-out at the center that draws the eye inward. Some of these portals feel like longstanding caverns\, others are suspended in their forward momentum\, a snapshot in time. The portals carry a sense of struggle: to puncture primarily\, but also to preserve the space between. As the mass around them presses in\, there is a sense of vulnerability in how they resist the weight of the clay. The work suggests that an absence is contingent: a space can is best perceived when it is in danger of collapsing. These sculptures ask the viewer to consider the space as the subject — a thin threshold between what is\, what was\, and what could be.     \nA recurring theme in the work is bifurcation\, where one becomes two\, like trees branching or rivers forking. In the series of pierced sculptures that resemble baskets\, this plays out through a dialogue between object and shadow. A cyanotype\, a sun-printed photographic record of shadow\, captures the outline of one structure\, and that shadow becomes the blueprint for the next. The process repeats\, as each shadow inflects and distorts the form of the next sculpture— a process LaBauve likens to memory. Solid and inanimate become interchangeable\, as the work moves forward\, alternating between directions — the shadow sometimes leading the form for a change.   \nFor LaBauve\, the work is formed by pinch and touch\, a slow process of mark-making with an emphasis on remaining a physical record.   \nThe exhibition opening also includes a participatory artwork and public event\, Textures of Topography\, on Friday\, May 8\, from 5 – 7 PM at the Art Base gallery. Visitors are invited to make barefoot impressions in clay\, adding their marks to those already there. Over the course of the event\, these layers will overlap and change one another. The finished piece will be fired and returned to the gallery later in the exhibition\, creating a shared record shaped by many people.   \n

SUMMARY:Art Lunch with Marcia Weese
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 26\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nJoin us for Art Lunch with our exhibiting artist\, Marcia Weese\, as we dine and discuss art and anything else! This is a great chance to walk through their current exhibition\, 5 Decades\, and ask questions or connect. \nArt Lunch is our routine excuse to gather around the table. Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. Some weeks we’ll toss in a discussion prompt to get things rolling\, but mostly it’s about food\, company\, and a potluck of ideas. \n5 DECADES\, a retrospective exhibition of work by Marcia Weese\, on view March 13 through April 15\, 2026. Spanning more than fifty years of studio practice\, the exhibition traces a throughline that has long guided Weese’s work: the belief that beauty does not rise above the muck but depends on it. Echoing the Buddhist refrain “no mud\, no lotus\,” Weese’s work explores what she calls raw beauty—an interconnected framework where structure and entropy\, control and surrender\, exist in dynamic balance.  \nBeginning her career as a sculptor with an interest in site-specific installation\, Weese now works primarily in printmaking\, with a recent return to ceramics loosely inspired by ancient Egyptian canopic jars. The exhibition moves from early paintings on wood panels to works on paper—including monoprints\, solar etchings\, and woodcuts—revealing not stylistic departures but a sustained investigation into material integrity and process. Her surfaces\, built through transparent layering and subtractive wiping\, carry a rugged luminosity that records touch\, time\, and collaboration with the medium itself.  \nThroughout the exhibition\, recurring motifs from the natural world—trees\, whales\, birds\, dragonflies\, mycelial networks\, and Fibonacci spirals—reflect Weese’s ongoing fascination with ecological systems and Mother Nature’s capacity to balance ferocity and harmony. Whether cerebral or intuitive\, each work embodies a quiet inquiry into interdependence\, resilience\, and the generative potential of what lies beneath the surface.  \nThe gallery unfolds the story of Marcia Weese’s career\, guiding visitors through the many transitions and transformations in her work over five decades. Enter the space and experience the breadth of her artistic journey.  \nOn view: February 6 to March 6\, 2026 \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by Aspen Painting Inc.\, and Dede Reed & Harry Teague.   \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank
