About Me

What is the Brick House?

The Brick House is a DIY community center dedicated to encouraging self-reliance. We offer our community space for musical events, a bike workshop, independent radio, movie showings, group meetings & skill sharing, art events, swap meets, a free store, a collection of zines and lending library for local folk looking into alternative lifestyles...

We are located in the heart of (Old) Louisville at Second and St. Catherine Streets, just a block or so west of the I-65 exits onto St. Catherine St. (Google Map)

Our mission statement encourages all members to participate in an oppression-free community to share knowledge and community responsibilities with neighbors as a means of embracing independent education through self-reliance. We believe in financial and ecological sustainability promoting a healthier world for all. This means that it is our goal to build our list of sustaining members who volunteer time and support as community partners. Your help in any of these efforts is greatly appreciated.

Become a sustaining member with monthly donations or Buy a $5 Raffle Ticket to help us pay our mortgage and utilities!


The Brick House Community Center currently has monthly expenses of about $1500. We are always accepting donations and training folks for volunteer work hours in order to improve our center and assist staff in providing safe and enjoyable events in Old Louisville.
We hope that you will consider joining our monthly on-line donation to help us raise the $772 mortgage payment each month. As little as $5 a month enters your name into our monthly drawing for RAFFLE PRIZES including Musical Instruments, Bikes and Taste of Old Louisville Restaurant Gift Certificates!
Just $10 donation from 200 people a month could lead to regular mortgage payments AND an improved HVAC system this summer. Just imagine what $20 a month could do!!! Join our efforts in any way you can today...

Booking a concert Our Noize Collective is in charge of organizing and booking the shows. If you are a band looking to play here or are just interested in supporting the BH as a venue, just drop us a line on the myspace. please forgive us if we are slow to respond or dont get back to you. sometimes we get up to 10 or more show requests per day. we try not to book shows on weekdays; weekends, however, are fair game.
We have been booking with independent promoters who then take responsibility for booking individual bands and for promoting their show. If you want to be added to the bill of a booked show, contact us and we'll put you in touch with the promoter.
We charge independent promoters $60 or 1/3 of the door, whichever is greater. We may require the $60 as a deposit to guarantee that you will promote the show and get out a crowd.
Independent promoters wishing to promote a show here:
* First check our MySpace calendar for general availability.

* Then contact us via the this MySpace account or by email at [email protected] to confirm availability. Please include your band name, band myspace or web page, your own name, and full contact information including email and phone.

* Concert dates are not confirmed until you have submitted an agreement and paid any required deposit. Check our calendar to see if it is clear on the day you request before emailing us. Including the date of your request in the subject heading will help.
