Come visit BrIC House

BRIC presents contemporary art, performing arts, and community media programs that reflect Brooklyn’s creativity and diversity. BRIC also provides resources to launch, nurture, and showcase artists and media makers. We advance access to and understanding of arts and media by presenting free and low-cost programming, and by offering education and other public programs to people of all ages.

BRIC is the public access media organization for Brooklyn. Its community media programs offer residents free access to media production facilities and equipment, and low-cost media education. BRIC’s community media programming also includes three programming initiatives aired on the five-channel Brooklyn Public Network: community-produced Brooklyn Free Speech; BRIC-produced, Brooklyn-focused Brooklyn Independent Media; and Brooklyn Bulletin Board, a 24/7 looping announcement service used by Brooklyn non-profits.
