BRIClab is a commissioning and residency program that offers local artists time and space to explore and expand the possibilities of their work in music, dance, theater, and multidisciplinary performance.

Free and open exploration and intentional commitment to process—with the support of the staff and resources that BRIC offers—are at the heart of the BRIClab program. Artists receive stipends and an intensive two-week residency in BRIC's Artist Studio with development time and opportunities for artistic mentoring. Work-in-process showings, presented with moderated artist-audience dialogues, bring audiences and other practitioners into the artists’ process and creativity, and offer valuable feedback to artists as they continue to develop their work.
