The Black Mountain Center for the Arts is a multipurpose arts facility serving a wide cross section of Buncombe County. The BMCA was incorporated in 1995 and opened its doors in October 2000. As our mission states, we seek to “bring the arts to the people and the people to the arts” and we are dedicated to inclusiveness as we work to provide programming that will serve all sectors of our community. Through a comprehensive calendar of ongoing weekly classes, workshops, concerts, plays, gallery shows, lectures and special events, BMCA creates a positive economic impact and raises the local quality of life.
