Brooklyn Academy of Music | People | Collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

Founded in 1861, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) was originally home for the Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn with its first facility in the neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. After a fire in the original building in 1903, BAM moved to the location where it has been since, in the neighborhood of Fort Greene, opening in 1908. The Metropolitan Opera performed at BAM until 1921. As of 2019, BAM is comprised of the BAM Peter Jay Sharp Building, The Howard Gilman Opera House, the Lepercq Space, the Harvey Theater, and the Fishman Space. BAM has become known as a center for progressive and avant garde performance, receiving the National Medal of Arts in 2013.

We have 3 objects that Brooklyn Academy of Music has been involved with.

Inside a black box, cartoon people -- drawn in black lines -- move along the ground, with frantic lines surrounding them to indiciate motion. Some appear to be crawling, others jumping. Some, if not all, are quite possibly dancing. The monkeys in the trees appear to be moving with similar kinds of gestures and are also flanked by lines that indicate motion. Above the scene reads 'Secret Pastures' in red font. Outside of the black box on the right side is a list of information featuring all of the artists associated with the event.
