Who are we?

Brooklyn Brainery is accessible education, crowdsourced to our local community.

We host affordable classes on anything and everything, all determined by the things you want to learn and teach. It's a place to experiment with all kinds of topics, hobbies, and ideas — think book clubs on steroids.

We have two locations: one in Prospect Heights a stone's throw from Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza, and another in Park Slope off the 7th Avenue F/G.
