Community Initiatives

BRIC’s Stoop Share is a community engagement initiative that provides nonprofit organizations and artists in Brooklyn and New York City with access to BRIC’s unique venue. Designed especially for those without regular access to public programming spaces, Stoop Share offers a platform for visual artists, performers, media makers, and the nonprofits that support them to amplify their voices and share their diverse visions.
