Camp Rockmont
in Black Mountain
The {Re}HAPPENING is a creative collaboration set within the historic and inspirational
second campus of Black Mountain College, known as Lake Eden. Every year, on the
first Saturday in April, artists come together from various genres and disciplines to crosspollinate and draw energy and inspiration from this historic and beautiful mountain setting.
Now in its sixth year, the {Re}HAPPENING has organically grown and developed as
an innovative art-based fundraising collaboration between the Black Mountain College
Museum + Arts Center and the Media Arts Project.
EVENT INFORMATION:
The {Re}HAPPENING is part art event, part fundraiser and part community
instigator. The event invites collaboration and experimentation among artists of all
disciplines. Bonds between the artists and the historically rich location are created and
strengthened throughout the weekend. New collaborations produce work that expands
the ability of each individual, combining talents, strengths and ideas in the spirit of
Black Mountain College.
GATES OPEN (3:00-10:00) - General Admission Tickets
Performances and installations in the buildings and on the grounds of historic Black Mountain College
About Black Mountain College
Black Mountain College (1933-1957) existed for a mere 24 years, but in that short time this small
experimental college produced a legacy that makes it central to American culture in multiple
ways. While often thought of as an art school, in actuality the arts were just one important
aspect of an overarching liberal arts education emphasizing the broader area of the humanities.
The college’s influence on the arts and education continues to this day. From the centrally
important teachers such as John Andrew Rice, Josef Albers and Charles Olson through other
important figures such as Robert Creeley, Mary Caroline (M.C.) Richards, Buckminster Fuller,
Merce Cunningham and John Cage, to the important students such as Robert Rauschenberg,
Cy Twombly, Francine du Plessix Gray, Arthur Penn, Dorothea Rockburne, Jonathan Williams
and Suzi Gablik, Black Mountain College influenced American culture through advances in
educational practice, the visual and performing arts as well as literature.
