Welcome to BCAL
Brooklyn College Art Lab (BCAL)
In 2005, BCCP created the Brooklyn College Art Lab, an interactive, educational, and recreational space on the college campus. Envisioned as the hub of our network of sites, staff, and students, BCAL is one of BCCP’s most successful and innovative programs.
Each day, youth from across our program sites come to BCAL to participate in its full-scale after-school programming, and to take advantage of BCAL’s youth-centered activities and resources.
On a visit to BCAL, you are likely to find youth producing digital music in the professional music studio, while others learn how to play live instruments and perform their original songs. Students can learn how to cook healthy food options with our culinary chef, edit videos in the Mac lab, or play basketball games on the indoor court.
In BCAL’s College Access room, youth can take part in workshops on financial aid, finding the right scholarships and get the help they need to fill out college applications led by the Director of College Access.

BCAL Saturdays — Kaplan SAT & Lipgloss
Every Saturday morning at BCAL 20 High School juniors prepare themselves for the process of applying to college by practicing for the SAT’s. The BCCP, in collaboration with Kaplan and New York Cares, provides an amazing opportunity, free of charge, to these students helping them with test-taking strategies while sharpening their mathematical and verbal skills. As the year-long program progresses, they become more familiarized with the exam, more confident in their abilities and better equipped to embark on the exhilarating journey of college education.
This Saturday, students focused on their math enhancement; with formulas buzzing all around the room and the sounds of calculators clicking, the atmosphere glowed with the student’s future accomplishments.
Up one flight of stairs, a whole world of difference — BCAL students made lip balm with all homemade materials. With the help of our Teaching Artist Diana, students mixed shea butter, olive oil and bees wax to create their very own lip protection for the blistery winter that is soon to come. In addition to their lip creations, the students also designed and created purse-like boxes to carry the balms in.
BCAL Saturdays go acrobatic
BCAL set out on the first trip of the new school year to see The Flying Chinese Acrobats at our very own Brooklyn Center! The day itself was exciting with the shock of the morning snow. With the snow flurries on our heads and anticipation in our hearts we hurried to the show. The diversity that surrounds us everyday living in the heart of Brooklyn is nothing compared to the change of scenery that was waiting for us on the stage. Flying through the air, jumping through hoops, and contorting their bodies into beautiful shapes; the Chinese Acrobats wowed us into speechless appreciation. They say you learn something new everyday, today the kids learned through their vision — the world is filled with many wonders and the Chinese culture is just a tiny sliver.
