Three Summer Camps Coming to Black Mtn. Center for the Arts Summer Theater Conservatory: Back for the 4th year, Donna Marie Todd directs rising 5th-8th graders in a summer day camp immersed in all aspects of theater from June 22-26, 10am – 4 pm, and ending at noon on Friday. Students will write their own script, learn improv, how to use a variety of voices, movement, diction, and character development. Summer Arts Camp: Also for the fourth year the Black Mountain Center for the Arts will offer Summer Arts Camp for children grades K-2. Led by three experienced teachers, the half-day camp enables the children to experience music, creative movement, and visual art each day. From July 6-10, campers will meet from 9-noon. Kids Kabaret: a Musical Theater Camp: NEW! After a successful run in Florida for several years, Kids Kabaret is making its NC debut at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts.

Center for the Arts Planned Giving Enables Rich Offerings at the BMCA Provide Thousands
with New Experiences On the edge of the downtown historic district
a river flows. It is a river of people flowing through the Black Mountain
Center for the Arts. Black Mountain citizens and visitors have always gravitated
toward this important building: it used to house the City Hall, the Library
and the Jail. During World War II, folks lined up to use the phone booth
in the lobby. In the 1980’s, the Town decided to move to a
new building. 225 West State Street sat empty and abandoned,
ready to be torn down. Special Events Raise New Audiences and Special
Support for the Arts Six or seven times a year the Black Mountain Center for the Arts offers something new. But then any creative endeavor, by its very nature, is always new and innovative. “Special events are designed to
stretch us,” said Gale Jackson, Executive Director for the Center
for the Arts, referring to those opportunities that fall outside the
dozens of regularly scheduled programs and hundreds of individual classes
that occur each year at the historic building on State Street. Volunteering Connects Community: Arts Center
Depends on Valley Volunteers For the past three years Don Talley has been
volunteering with the Black Mountain Center for the Arts, specifically
for the monthly Upbeat! Concert Series. Among a host of other reasons for
giving his time, Talley says, “It’s a lot of fun. Through my
involvement I’ve heard a great variety of music and had the chance
to get to know the performers better. I’ve also gotten to know several
of our regular attendees and see them at other community events.” |
