Come celebrate our exhibition Altruistic Genius: Buckminster Fuller’s Plans to Save the Planet with an afternoon of creativity and community engagement featuring programming that highlights Buckminster Fuller’s inventions and designs.

Altruistic Genius: Buckminster Fuller’s Plans to Save the Planet brings the inventions and designs of R. Buckminster Fuller to Western North Carolina and introduces visitors to Fuller’s strategies for the sustainability of humans and the planet relating to housing, transportation, mathematics, and engineering. This exhibition features two major suites of prints by Buckminster Fuller among other remarkable works from his multi-decade career and is presented in three sections: Inventions, Synergetics, and Black Mountain College and Lasting Influence.
