Friday, January 30, 2015 from 5:30 – 8:00pm, FREE Admission
Gallery Talk by Randy Shull at 6:30pm
In conjunction with the Susan Weil exhibition opening, we will open our newly redesigned and renovated museum space at 56 Broadway in downtown Asheville, NC. The redesign and renovation is funded by a major grant from the Windgate Charitable Foundation, and is being led by Asheville-based and internationally recognized artist/ designer Randy Shull. He will give a gallery talk at 6:30pm about his design process for the new space.
The Grand {Re}OPENING at 56 Broadway is Phase One of a larger expansion that will include the addition of a second museum gallery (for changing exhibitions) and collection storage vault in the building owned by the Center for Craft, Creativity & Design at 67 Broadway, diagonally across the street from our current location.
The overall project supports multiple educational initiatives including: paid museum internships and a design apprentice; an expanded art library and research center for scholars, students and BMC enthusiasts; increased access to our oral history interview archive and our permanent collection of artwork and primary documents related to Black Mountain College. Phase Two at 67 Broadway will open in the summer of 2015.
