The Brunswick Mechanics Institute accepts proposals for events and projects year round.

We are interested in a broad range of projects and programs. We encourage local thinkers, contemporary creators and cultural innovators to get in touch about using our spaces.

We are flexible and modular, and can host a wide range of happenings from meetings and classes, rehearsals and developments, to public presentations of new work and community events.

We believe a diverse conversation is the only one worth having and herald projects that have diversity and inclusion at their core. We value projects that have integrated sustainability into all stages. We encourage experimentation and value the development of new work.

Artists and companies wishing to present live performance seasons (I.e. theatre, dance, comedy, music, opera) at Mechanics are invited to enquire using the Enquiry Form below. Season proposals will be considered using the following criteria:

— High-quality, original work
— Well-researched with a clear rationale
— Experimental, pushing artform boundaries, or innovating within a specific artform
— Considers cultural safety, environmental sustainability, access and inclusion
— Well-planned and financially viable
