{Re}HAPPENING: a feast for the senses is a joint fundraiser for the Media Arts Project and Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center. It's the first in a series of events celebrating innovations and collaboration in the arts.

The evening includes drinks, dinner, appetizers, dancing and appearances by local artists and creators. Here's the lineup:

  • New media work from Scott Furr, Mark Koven, Megan McKissack, Gene Felice, Mark Hanf, Marnie Muller, Lorraine Walsh, Lei Han & Wray Bowling will be on display.
  • Participating dancers include Claire Elizabeth Barrett, Julie Becton Gillum & Sara Baird.
  • Sculpture and ceramics will be shown from Jinx (Sean Pace) & Mellissa Terreza.
  • Performance artists incude Graham Hackett, Queen Mae & the Bells, and puppeteer Madison J. Cripps.
  • Sound installation and performance will be created by Wayne Kirby, Dave Hamilton, Salvatore D’Angio, Ross Gentry & Chris Ballard.
  • Guest chef Mark Rosenstein represents the culinary arts. 

The night's entertainment consists of two halves:  The first begins at 6 p.m. with a cocktail social, leading into a seated “family style” dinner served at 7.  Various art and performance events take place throughout the cocktail hour and dinner. The second half begins at 9 p.m. and includes drinks, light appetizers and an extended evening of art, performance & dancing...

Saturday nights during the BMC's heyday usually included art, music, dance and performance. In partnership with the BMCM+AC, this joint event pays tribute to Black Mountain College by bringing its dynamic energy into the present.
