space and resource center dedicated to exploring the history and
legacy of one of the world's most acclaimed experimental educational
community. The Center offers changing exhibitions, a video archive,
research materials, and a selection of books and other materials for

The Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center was
founded in 1993 by Mary Holden to honor and pay tribute to the
spirit and history of Black Mountain College and to acknowledge the
College's role as a forerunner in progressive, interdisciplinary
education with a focus on the arts. The Black Mountain College
Museum + Arts Center aspires to provide a place where multifaceted
programming can take place in an energetic environment. Their goal
is to provide a forum for people from a variety of backgrounds in
both the arts and sciences to interact so that art, ideas, and
discourse are integrated with an emphasis on process rather than
product. Through exhibitions, publications, lectures, films,
seminars, and oral history interviews BMCM+AC is committed to
spreading awareness of Black Mountain College and its important
legacy.
