Since 2010, BMCM+AC has hosted the {Re}HAPPENING inspired by John Cage and David Tudor’s 1952 Theatre Piece No. 1, an unscripted performance considered by many to be the first Happening in North America.
Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center (BMCM+AC) was founded in 1993 to celebrate the history of Black Mountain College as a forerunner in progressive interdisciplinary education and its impact on modern and contemporary art, dance, theater, music, and performance.
