Emerging Creators is BRIC’s yearly student exhibition celebrating the work of young artists and media makers from BRIC's Youth Education Residency Programs in public schools and community centers across Brooklyn and beyond. This year’s student exhibition showcases a selection of the work created by over 800 young artists. BRIC teaching artists partner with more than 40 schools and 12 community-based organizations every year, located across 23 Brooklyn neighborhoods, to deliver quality arts education.
Emerging Creators is a platform for youth voices exploring diverse topics including community, identity, activism, and current events. Our young artists experimented in a wide range of media, including: mosaic, mixed media, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, podcasting, animation, and filmmaking, to produce artworks that explored the issues and events shaping the post-pandemic world.
BRIC House is a one-stop shop for emerging creators and equips its partners to innovate and document the artistic growth of our youth. The mission of the Youth Education & Family Programs Department is to work with underserved communities and under-resourced schools to nurture creativity while providing accessibility to media education, technology, equipment, and career exploration. This exhibition embodies the creative courage, thoughtfulness, and resiliency of the youth.
