News Summary:
On April 14, 2026, BRIC invited members at the Friend level and above to exclusive Member Nights, offering access to programming across Brooklyn and a chance to connect with the creative community. The day before, on April 13, BRIC featured British cellist and composer Lucy Railton, known for her innovative and restless approach to the cello and artistic self-expression across classical, contemporary, electronic, improvisation, and popular music, as part of the Long Play Festival. Earlier in April, on April 8, the organization explored the power of festivals in bringing people together for shared experiences and community rejuvenation in New York City, particularly during major crises such as the 1970s near-bankruptcy, 9/11, and the COVID pandemic. This followed a March 23 event where the Center for Communication presented "Looking Back: Historical Storytelling," highlighting Salimah El-Amin, a producer of award-winning films and television programs, including "The American Revolution." Previously, on March 19, the Brooklyn Made initiative, funded by Wells Fargo and administered by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, hosted its "Ignite Brooklyn Made" live pitch competition to support the growth of small businesses in the borough with access to capital and advisory services.
