This holiday season, Basecamp Studio & Gallery is filled with work by 10 local artists, all priced to give. If someone on your list would love something unique and made by hand, this is the place to find it.
Shop: ceramic vessels and tiles, sculpture, jewelry, cards, prints, t-shirts, and a few surprises.
See: our holiday tree, decorated with one-of-a-kind ornaments made by the participating artists. Stop by just to see it.
Join us: for tea ceremonies and a sake tasting during the pop-up.

Event Updates
On a beautiful fall day, the Haiku Poetry Walk led by Spencer Soletto was a really wonderful event. A chance to share short poems inspired by a walk on the Greenway nearby Basecamp. The group was so engaged in the spirit of the using nature as their muse for writing Haiku.
Empty Bowls Fundraiser
EMPTY BOWLS - A HUGE SUCCESS!!!
A heartfelt thank-you from Basecamp to everyone who came out for the Metuchen Empty Bowls Fundraiser on October 10. We love you! Together we raised over $4,000 for the Food Pantry. That covers their entire November and December produce budget, with enough left over to fill the delivery van.
Our thanks go to:
Food Pantry Director Sarah Teti, Pastor Gary, and all the Community, Church and Girl Scout volunteers.
Dave Bolger for the music.
Mo Atzbi - Hailey’s Harp & Pub and John Manzo -Be My Guest Personal Chef, for their soups.
Every volunteer who helped create our one-of-a-kind collection of 150 bowls. With a special shout-out to Katie Piro and her staff at Lore Ceramics for making the lions share of the bowls for us.
Our community partners who joined Basecamp to organize this project: Lore Ceramics, Friends of Metuchen Arts, Earthsong’s Ceramics Studio and Rising Heart Studio.
