BRIC Arts Media


BRIC, formerly known as BRIC Arts Media or Brooklyn Information & Culture, is a non-profit arts organization based in Brooklyn, New York founded in 1979 as the "Fund for the Borough of Brooklyn". BRIC is the leading presenter of free cultural programming in Brooklyn, and one of the largest in New York City. We present and incubate work by artists and media-makers who reflect the diversity that surrounds us. BRIC programs reach hundreds of thousands of people each year.
Their main venue, BRIC House, offers a public media center, a major contemporary art exhibition space, two performance spaces, a glass-walled TV studio, and artist work spaces.
Some of BRIC’s most acclaimed programs include the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival in Prospect Park, a renowned contemporary art exhibition series, and two distinct media initiatives: Brooklyn Free Speech, Brooklyn's Public Access initiative, and BRIC TV, a nonprofit community TV channel and digital network. BRIC also offers education and other vital programs at BRIC House and throughout Brooklyn.

BRIC House

Prior to the opening of BRIC House in 2013, BRIC programmed in a number of locations around Brooklyn including the Rotunda Gallery in Brooklyn Heights. The 40,000 square foot BRIC House, renovated by Leeser Architecture, allows BRIC to present music, arts and media programming under the same roof for the first time with a 3,000-square-foot public gallery, flexible performance space, and artist studios.
Along with UrbanGlass and Theatre for a New Audience, BRIC is a key part of the growing Downtown Brooklyn Cultural District which also includes BAM's three buildings.
