Avant Gardner

Introducing the next generation of The Brooklyn Mirage! A revolutionary step into the future of nightlife and live entertainment. Inspired by operatic grandeur, the boldly reimagined Brooklyn Mirage ushers in a new era for live music, art, and immersive nightlife experiences with groundbreaking innovations. The spectacular new design of the venue was created by Avant Gardner's in-house Design and Production teams, in collaboration with design studios Hard Feelings and Studio Greenbank. This transformation showcases a remarkable blend of architectural, audio, and visual artistry, featuring a hyper-realistic 270-degree virtual environment within a fully kinetic floor-to-ceiling shutter system. We are also adding new opera-style balconies, positioned above the dance floor to provide an unmatched audio and visual experience with unobstructed views and enhanced hospitality amenities.

This year, we kicked off our first Wellness Day, "Thrive: A Day Dedicated to Wellness!"

Our teams had such a blast trying out all sorts of fun activities! We enjoyed everything from aromatherapy and nutrition workshops to yoga and physical training, soothing acupressure, and more! With tasty food to munch on and relaxing massages to melt away the stress, it was a a great reminder of how important it is to take care of ourselves. Check out what our employees had to say about the event! Don't miss the recap video below—it's packed with all the fun highlights and moments! "I won a raffle at the dentist. I can't believe it! This is my lucky day – this is great." "The company is great that they put this on for us. I've never had anything like this before." "All these different offers are so great – and they are located around here too." "We've never had one of these before. This is a fantastic break from the workday!" "It's real important to the care of our health. You tend to ignore it. This is a great company to work for." We are looking forward to an incredible 2025!
