The museum was founded by Mary Holden Thompson in 1993 to celebrate the history of the college and continue its legacy of artistic and educational innovation. Since then, BMCM+AC has hosted more than 80 exhibitions, amassed a collection of more than 4,000 pieces of artwork and ephemera, and recorded more than 60 oral histories. \u201cAs we look back over these 30 years, each milestone builds on the previous ones and leads us forward to the next,\u201d says Alice Sebrell, director of preservation. \u201cThe past three decades of work have set us up well to continue sharing the story of BMC with our community and the world as we also facilitate the creation of new stories extending the legacy of the college.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63203\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63203\" class=\"wp-image-63203\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Spotlight-On-BMCM-AC-none-needed-copy-1140x1520.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-63203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BMCM + AC at 120 College Street in downtown Asheville<\/p><\/div>\n<p>BMCM+AC draws inspiration from the college\u2019s values as a blueprint for its work. \u201cThe values of Black Mountain College went beyond the traditional Western cultural practices of literature, music, philosophy and art,\u201d says Jeff Arnal, executive director of BMCM+AC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe college prioritized the greater good, experimentation and accountability as a global institution.
