Guild Explorers Outing in August: Basha Art Museum & Lunch
If you have not yet visited or want to visit this museum again….now is your chance to enjoy the museum with like minded Guild members. FUN!!
We will visit the Basha Art Museum in Chandler
The Eddie Basha Collection, draws admirers from all over the world. The impetus behind the collection, as well as the gallery itself was one of love, respect and great admiration.
Eddie Basha grew up captivated by the American West. In 1971 under the encouragement and guidance of his Aunt Zelma, Eddie began collecting art. What began as a hobby quickly grew into an inspirational passion, combining his keen interest in the history of the American West, his admiration of the American Indian and his appreciation for art.
His collection has grown into one of the largest private collections of contemporary Western American and American Indian art in the world.
