Saturday, March 20th

On the original Black Mountain College campus (now Camp Rockmont)

The Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center and the Media Arts Project invite the WNC community to participate in an evening of art, performance, music & dinner in the original dining hall of the former Black Mountain College (now Camp Rockmont). The remarkable creative community that existed at BMC from 1933 to 1957 inspires this unique fundraising event. Their Saturday night festivities usually included art, music, dance and performance, creating the foundation that we hope to build upon. In Partnership with the MAP and its community of artistic endeavors, this BMCM +AC event pays tribute to Black Mountain College by bringing its dynamic energy into the present day.

{Re}HAPPENING: a feast for the senses launches a new event series that will draw from the wide range of artistic talents that make WNC an extraordinary community. At the March 20 event, the evening will consist of two halves. The first half begins at 6 p.m. with a cocktail social, leading into a seated “family style” dinner served at 7 p.m. Various forms of art and performance will be take place throughout the cocktail hour and dinner. The second half begins at 9 p.m. and includes drinks (beer, wine & non-alchoholic), light appetizers and an extended evening of art, performance & dancing. Tickets for the entire evening including dinner are $40 ($35 for BMCM+AC and MAP members). For the second half (art, drinks & snacks) only, the ticket price is $15 ($10 for members). The LaZoom Bus will be running a shuttle service throughout the evening from downtown Asheville to the BMC campus and back. The pick-up times for the LaZoom bus are 5:45 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. next to The Thirsty Monk.

Sponsors for the event include Vinnie's Neighborhood Italian, Pisgah Brewing, Filo Bakery, Divine Wine, Chai Pani, French Broad Chocolates, Ultimate Ice Cream Co., Early Girl Eatery, Short Street Cakes, Nona Mia, Izzy's Coffee and Mountain Valley Spring Water.
