Always innovative, MM¨ a thriving 21 year old living art center on Smith Street created as an incubator to prepare and present formidable art production.  MM¨ represents a pioneering interdisciplinary force collaborating with visual and performance art with a history for promoting media broadcasting.  To this day MM¨ operates a monthly public access TV program in Brooklyn on the local Brooklyn channels called SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.  Home to hundreds of working artists and students - MM¨ achieved iconic status with journalist Trudy Whitman of Brooklyn Heights Press noting Òbefore Smith Street was Smith Street there was Micro MuseumÓ.   Open for professional use weekdays by appointment or to the general public on Saturdays from 12 – 7 PM.  Admission required.
