Borrego BASIC

Directions Website Contact the organization

BASIC empowers Borrego Springs learners from cradle to graduation with free programs in early literacy, summer learning, and college scholarships.

We believe every student deserves opportunity—regardless of income. Learn more at www.borregobasic.org. Every year in March Borrego Springs is host to the Circle of Art at Christmas Circle Park in the heart of the village. Hence the name "Circle of Art". This fine arts show is FREE to the public and features over seventy artists. The Circle of Art is sponsored by Basic Assistance to Students in the Community (BASIC), a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit tax-exempt corporation that provides grants & scholarships for educational purposes to the residents of Borrego Valley. Proceeds from the show are used for the scholarship fund.
