The Space

Bangalore Creative Circus is housed in a 20,000 sqft warehouse in Yeshwanthpur Industrial Area, within walking distance of three metro stations and Orion mall. Formerly used as a steel factory, a labour housing facility, and a tiles stockyard, the warehouse has been transformed into a living lab. Having officially opened to the public in Oct, 2021, the space also functions as an experience centre, a community arts hub, and an events and workshops space. 

 

The experience centre consists of a farm to table restaurant called The Circus Canteen, a museum, a garden store, and demonstrations of solutions ranging from urban farming (permaculture, aquaponics, hydroponics, mushroom cultivation), ecological building (recycled materials, mud building, passive lighting and cooling), waste management (segregation, compost, biogas), rain water harvesting, upcycled art and decor, etc. 

 

The community arts hub consisting of a makerspace, a sound room, an art gallery, and an artist residency, is a space for all kinds of artists to create, collaborate, and showcase. Additionally, BCC is a space for community building through events, cultural performances, workshops, volunteering opportunities, and coworking.
