the bmc story
Brighton Media Centre (BMC) is the umbrella organisation which really has initiated practical support and development for the design/creative industries in Brighton. Since 1992 BMC has facilitated the growth of the local cluster by offering serviced office accommodation, good facilities, networking events, exhibitions, electronic networks, business support and information services aimed specifically at the sector.
The newly formed City of Brighton & Hove is now a UK location of pure excellence for all forms of media practice, and BMC is renowned nationally and now also internationally for its good experience in cluster development and management competence. BMC aims to continue its big expansion in Brighton with further development of the model and promotion of the sector.
1997
BMC is a runner up in the Regeneration Through Partnership award, supported by the British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) and the Department of Transport Regions (DETR).
The Centre hosts Get Real - an event to promote the work of companies based at the centre.
Gallery events include Man in a Box, a seven-day endurance installation in which the artist continued his creative work in solitary confinement 24/7.
