BAM FREE MUSIC (BFM)

Jan—Aug 2025
Music has always been fundamental to the mission at BAM—it’s right there in the name—and everyone got a bold reminder this year with BAM Free Music, a new series that packed The Adam Space with listeners and dancers hungry for fresh sounds.

Now BAM is excited to partner with BSE Global for the Planet Brooklyn Festival on August 23 & 24. Our festival events, programmed by trusted music curator Lia Camille Crockett, will be free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis in The Adam Space, in BAM’s Peter Jay Sharp Building—a premier destination to see and hear local, national, and global artists in a welcoming setting suited to listening, mingling, and dancing.
