Sited on The Walk in a locus of Brown arts venues, the Brown PAC is the physical manifestation of the Brown Arts Initiative, which was established in 2017 to support and incubate traditional and experimental art and media. BAI’s manifold users require a space with radical spatial, acoustic, and technical flexibility—transforming amongst Experimental Media, Recital, End Stage, and Flat Floor configurations—while maintaining intimacy—typically 350 audience members or smaller. However, Brown also lacks a dedicated performance space suitable for its existing medium and large ensembles.
