Coming Soon: A House for the Arts in Brooklyn
For thirty years, BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn has provided a creative home for the arts and artists in Brooklyn.
We are now excited to begin an extraordinary new chapter in the story of BRIC—one which will bring our Contemporary Art, Performing Arts and Community Media programs under one roof for the first time.
In support of the vital role BRIC plays in the borough’s cultural landscape, The City of New York is investing in us to create BRIC Arts | Media House, a multidisciplinary arts and media center designed to support artists and engage the public. The project will repurpose the former Strand Theater building in the heart of the BAM Cultural District and expand BRIC’s current 19,000 square foot space to 40,000 square feet.
BRIC House will serve as a true home for artists and audiences—a place where emerging and established artists can create work that deepens their practice and engages the diverse communities of Brooklyn.
Its physical design around a central public space, the town square, will encourage the audience’s engagement among disciplines and maximum exposure to all disciplines.
When BRIC House opens, something entirely new will have been created in the borough of Brooklyn, and indeed in New York City.
We look forward to welcoming you to our House.
