In 2012, the Snow Foundation gave Black Mountain School a grant for its Art Program to develop PaperChange – a program to train students in the industrial art of making paper.  Black Mountain School now has its own handmade paper studio providing opportunities for students to build skills in paper-making.

Parents would like to see their graduating young adults continue to work in art related programs so that skills can be enhanced post-school.  A Roundtable is being held with parents to discuss interests and options, and foster relationships with post-school option providers that could lead to greater employment potential for graduating students..
