L10 Open House

Take a first look at the newly-completed L10 Arts & Cultural Center in Downtown Brooklyn with OHNY, Andrea Steele Architecture, and L10 cultural partners 651 ARTS, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Brooklyn Public Library, and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA).

Nearly a decade in the making, L10 is a multidisciplinary arts hub that will provide New Yorkers of all ages and abilities with new space to learn, create, and connect. The four organizations it houses will offer a wide variety of programming—including theater, dance, music, film, visual arts, talks with artists and curators, radio, and cultural food residencies—while connecting and collaborating with each other through flexible spaces and a public lobby that serves as a gateway to all four institutions.

This Open House offers visitors an opportunity to go behind the scenes at this brand-new cultural hub and get a preview of the ambitious and diverse programs to come.

• Tour the theater and rehearsal studios at 651 ARTS, the first permanent home for this long-running organization showcasing dance, music, theater, and other contemporary performing arts from the African diaspora
• See displays of archival materials and screenings of vintage performance excerpts from the BAM Hamm Archives at BAM KBH before it opens to the public
• Peruse the specially curated art book collection at the first branch of Brooklyn Public Library dedicated to arts and culture, and watch artist Katie Merz creating new work commissioned for the Library
