The Bauen Camp, Inc., was founded by Jessica Holt in the fall of 1999, incorporated in February 2000, and received its 501(c)(3) non-profit status from the IRS in April, 2000. A volunteer Board of Directors and Advisory Board who represent both art practitioners and other professions was organized in 2000. The Executive Director serves as an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors. The campsite is the space and place of the Bauen Camp and is owned by and is the home of Jessica Holt. How did the idea for The Bauen Camp come about? The concept for The Bauen Camp grew out of Holt's three years of research at Colorado State University, Fort Collins (MA, Philosophy, 2000). Her thesis explores the optimum methods for artists to employ to foster social change.
