Resources for Community Producers
PROCESSING YOUR RESERVATION
Brooklyn Free Speech is excited to introduce a more efficient way for our community to manage reservation requests through the new Patron Portal. This system allows producers to easily submit their reservation for approval by the Public Equipment team. In addition, Patron Portal provides access to real-time studio and equipment availability, so you can view schedules directly from your computer or phone without needing to call Public Equipment.
To get started, click the link provided and use the “Forgot my Password” feature to create a new password. Once your password is set, you’ll be able to log into your personal Patron Portal account.
TIP: Your username for login is the email address you’ve provided to BRIC. If you’re unsure which email is on file, feel free to reach out to the Public Equipment team via email, [email protected]
Please note: The old reservation form will be phased out in the coming months, and all bookings will be made through Patron Portal moving forward.
