Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts was an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit performing arts organization located on the campus of Brooklyn College, founded in 1954. The Brooklyn Center presented multiple disciplinary arts performances and coordinated one of the largest arts education programs in the borough, serving 46,000 schoolchildren from over 300 schools annually.^[1]

In July 2018, the organization relieved its nonprofit status by becoming a unit of Brooklyn College's School of Visual, Media, and Performing Arts under the name Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College (BCBC), or Brooklyn College Presents.

On September 6, 2018 (63 days after becoming part of Brooklyn College), the college closed the organization, citing budgetary reasons.^[2][3]
