On Saturday, April 8, Lamplight AVL will partner with Drop of Sun Studios to Co-Curate the John Cage Room (North Lodge) at Black Mountain College Museum’s annual event, The {Re}HAPPENING!

We are thrilled to be a part of this incredible event. Black Mountain College Museum has been hosting this event for the past eleven years to celebrate the indelible legacy of Black Mountain College. The {Re}HAPPENING is a one-day event at the historic campus of Black Mountain College, 15 minutes from Asheville. It is part art event, part fundraiser, and part community instigator, providing a platform for contemporary artists to share their responses to the vital legacy of Black Mountain College by activating the buildings and grounds of the BMC campus with installations, new media, music, and performance projects.

In the building, you will find installations from some incredible artists. The lineup is below. Come on out and celebrate!
