The Adam E. Max Gathering Space (BAMcafé)

The Adam E. Max Gathering Space (BAMcafé), BAM's flexible open plan space, has a history rich in BAM milestones.
RENTAL INQUIRY FORM

First designed as a ballroom, then recast as a theater for groundbreaking work, The Adam E. Max Gathering Space took its current design in 1997 as BAM's flexible public living room, a dazzling open-plan hall housing BAMcafé. Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates oversaw the renovation, preserving the spaciousness of the original ballroom with vaulted red arches lined with silver-tipped light bulbs. This dramatic space makes a stylish setting for receptions, meetings, and parties.
