★★★★★Wendi Loomis

Wonderful intimate venue for live storytelling, poetry, and music. The upstairs gallery always has something engaging on display as well.

The Black Mountain Center for the Arts is located in Downtown Black Mountain. It is in the former City Hall Building. Stairs are the only option to get to the second-floor gallery as the elevator was damaged by Hurricane Helene. Parking is on the street and in public lots. I found out about the Art in Bloom exhibit that was happening and made sure to fit it into my plans. The artwork and flower displays were upstairs. I was there the last day, and they still looked amazing. I was thrilled I got to see the creativity. The staff was very friendly and welcoming here, and even provided me with a tour of the facility. The Center has performing arts so I joined the mailing list so I could find out about upcoming theatre performances and concerts. Classes and workshops are offered too. This is a great asset to the community.

The summer camps are fantastic! My shy 4yo mamas girl, despite having a tough time with drop off on Monday, came home the same day saying “that was really fun” and enjoyed the rest of the week without any fuss! Highly recommend 🥰

I moved from Museum City in Georgia and grew up at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. I am not easily impressed but this place surprised me and made me feel like I was at home. I have seen a production in their theater, been to an event in their gallery, and am looking forward to a pottery class. Don't miss this little gem.

I had a wonderful time in Black Mountain. Performing at the Center was just the frosting on the cake. It's small, but very well setup to provide a real local Arts experience. The photography currently showing in the upstairs gallery are magnificent. Check out the pieces by Herb Way.
