A LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends,On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff of BRIC, I am delighted to share this annual report high-lighting the high quality accessible arts and media programming made possible by your continued and generous support, as well as the responsible fiscal stewardship that helps ensure that your gifts are put to good use.

BRIC has always sought to reflect the diversity of Brooklyn, and this past fiscal year—with the much-anticipated opening of the award-winning BRIC House—BRIC’s capacity to advance its mission has advanced to a new level. BRIC House has quickly become a vibrant public gathering space and a center for creativity and expression.

I thank my colleagues on the Board of Directors, who support and sustain BRIC through wise counsel, tireless encouragement, and fierce commitment. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the staff at BRIC—especially their visionary leader, Leslie Schultz—whose dedication and passion make BRIC the robust cultural destina-tion it has so quickly become.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF BRIC

What an incredible year we are featuring in this Annual Report. BRIC Arts | Media House is no longer merely a vision to embody our mission to nurture artists and makers and welcome audiences from around the borough; it is a dynamic, catalytic reality. BRIC House, which opened in late 2013, is a vital cultural home for Brooklyn. We feel embraced by our neighbors in the Brooklyn Cultural District and, in our first year alone, we welcomed more than 106,000 visitors from Brooklyn and beyond.

BRIC’s programming has been inspired and transformed by our new home. We have presented 348 performing artists and 93 visual artists and connected 3,800 makers to new media and technology—all within the first eight months of opening. This unrivaled range of arts and media programming is remarkable. The journey to opening BRIC House is one of BRIC’s proudest achievements in our institutional history. The road to BRIC House, in many ways, has been paved with the gemstones of our Celebrate Brooklyn! Performing Arts Festival, which dazzled 200,000 music lovers last summer. Our work would not be possible without the commitment of our dedicated Board of Directors, talented staff, passionate volunteers, and the vision of the artists and media makers. Above all else, your support makes our continued success possible, and we are truly grateful.

BRIC MISSION STATEMENT 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.

Leslie G. Schultz President

The inaugural concert set the tone for artistic excellence and inspiration at BRIC House. It brought the essence of our Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival indoors.

Ronald K. Brown/ Evidence, A Dance Company The essence of Ron Brown’s work is a celebration of the spectrum of people that make up our community. His residency at BRIC House embodies BRIC’s ethos of artistic excellence and community engagement. His performance showed us how art can be a collective experience. “In On Earth Together, Brown showcases 30 community members between the ages of 8 to 77 performing alongside the company.” — Time Out New York, Nov 14, 2013
