Brown Arts Institute

Commissioned by the Brown Arts Institute (BAI) at Brown University, this series of exhibitions,  performances, workshops and community activations document the projects and voices of international artists, designers and innovators working in performing, literary, and visual arts.

Launched with the opening of The Lindemann Performing Arts Center in October 2023, the inaugural IGNITE Series showcases the Brown Arts ecosystem, alongside projects by local and regional artists and arts organizations. The Artistic Innovators Collective is a fluid group of around forty artists from across the globe who regularly engage with Brown in a variety of ways: to push the boundaries of discipline, to teach, to work, to experiment, to safely fail and take risks, to undertake rigorous and long-term exchange with our campus and surrounding communities.
