Tuesday, November 30, 2021 - 10:30AMDear BRIC Family,
I hope this holiday season finds you well. If we haven’t met, my name is Robin Jenkins and I have the honor of serving as BRIC’s Interim President.
During my time with all of you at BRIC, I’m committed to acting as a bridge to the next permanent leader of our organization -- and to taking care of our community during this crucial time.
Since coming into this role, I’ve spent the past two months meeting countless artists, media makers, and cultural innovators who work with BRIC.

It really is phenomenal and breathtaking work.
