BRIC is an arts organization in Crown Heights that operates BRIC House, a converted theater in downtown Brooklyn, and produces Celebrate Brooklyn!, a free outdoor festival running since 1979.
BRIC incubates and showcases work by artists and media-makers with programs reaching hundreds of thousands of people each year. The organization operates from downtown Brooklyn's BRIC House, a converted Strand Theater, but its reach extends across the borough throughCelebrate Brooklyn!, one of New York City's longest-running, free, outdoor performing arts festivals since 1979. BRIC's contemporary art program presents rigorously curated exhibitions and programs focusing on emerging and mid-career artists whose work captures a rich cross-section of ideas, voices, and artistic media that reflect Brooklyn's diversity. BRIClab offers on-site residencies for NYC-based artists, including a physical studio space, mentorship, and artist stipend. Rooted in Brooklyn, and reaching out to the world, BRIC is guided by a commitment to creative risk-taking and a definition of excellence that values creators and communities that are under-recognized in the cultural sector.
