How to Submit to the Brick

We recommend that, before applying to present at The Brick, artists take the time and join us for an event. There is no better way to see the scale and capabilities of the space, and to determine if The Brick is a potential fit for your work. We consider artistic ambition, achievability, and vibe in equal measure.

Our curation team meets once a month to discuss proposals and we are booked well in advance. Proposals should be at least 6 months in advance of the date(s) of the event.

Apply for each type of project you are interested in. You can submit the same piece for more than one type of project.

Please keep in mind that our curation team meets monthly and that we rarely book events less than 6 months in advance. We will respond to every submission.

Every project is supported in unique ways, but across the board The Brick team will support all artists leading up to your time in the space via promotional support, box office staffing, production/creative meetings, 50/50 box office split, Materials For The Arts access, documentation support and reduced rate rehearsal space at 628 Metropolitan, calendar permitting.

The Brick Curation Team is Matthew Antoci, Theresa Buchheister, Jaclyn Biskup, Yuki Kawahisa, Alyse Lamb, Anabella Lenzu, Nadia Pinder.
