Yellow Springs shop relocating
Basho Apparel is relaunching in a new location and is bringing local artists along for the ride.
Dayton artist Ben Riddlebarger will be featured this month at the shop celebrating its grand reopening 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, June 11 in a space above The Winds Cafe & Bakery, 213 Xenia Ave., Yellow Springs.
The screen printing and apparel business was launched in Dayton in 2000 by New York native and current Yellow Spring resident Paul Baker.
It opened to the public in 2003 and is now co-owned by Baker and Brian Johnson of Dayton. The shop is moving from 253c Xenia Ave. in Yellow Spring partly for higher visibility, organization and a better layout.
“Finally, we decided to move to a location that would better showcase our apparel as works of art. Our new location has fantastic wood floors and spotlights. It feels a lot like an art gallery,” Johnson said via email. “Basho Apparel was founded on the idea that art should be accessible to the masses and this new location will do a much better job displaying it as such. Also, our newly added project of featuring artists in the local area monthly will help promote the arts in Dayton in general.”

Glad to see Basho back in YS. Was concerned when their former storefront was occupied by someone else. Still a bit concerned as new location seems equally obscure. Best of luck, guys!
