Black Mountain College
Black Mountain College was an independent education experiment of “education in a democracy” established in 1933 but closed in 1956. The college founders believed that creative arts and daily responsibilities were equal factors in the development of a person’s intellect. The faculty and students worked on a farm, did maintenance, served meals, and constructed buildings – no extracurricular activities or sports were organized as it was felt that there should be no distinction between work and play. Black Mountain College was the first American college, although experimental, to have complete democratic self rule as well as extensive creative artwork and interdisciplinary academic study.
