The Art Base (formerly the Wyly Art Center) was created in 1996 with the goal to expose people of all ages to creative expression and to help develop a connection between people and art. It is located in Basalt, Colorado and serves as a creative hub for the community of the Roaring Fork Valley. The Art Base offers programs to people of any age, access to galleries and free community events.  


The importance of introducing children to art at a young age is pivotal for development and The Art Base strives to make this possible. According to a study conducted by PBS exposing children to art at an early age helps them to develop motor skills, language development, decision making, visual learning, intuitiveness and cultural awareness. All of which are of utmost importance to a developing child.


Some of the wonderful programs that The Art Base offers includes after school programs, Summer/Winter art camps, adult programs, afternoon art, "Sunday Crafternoons", teen internships as well as private art lessons
