Brick admitted it had fallen behind on payroll<\/a>, with six employees not paid in full. Employees had shared that they protested and boycotted the venue.<\/p>\nBlue Star Arts Complex Management said they hope to bring the venue back \u201cin some form in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The complex\u2019s full statement can be read below: <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re sad that Brick\u2019s current owners found themselves where they did. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut after many months of working with them in hopes that they might recover from their financial difficulties, we were forced to make the lockout decision. We did not take this step lightly. <\/p>\n
\u201cBrick has been blessed to have had so many great vendors, performers, and exhibiters over the years who helped make it something unique. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to them – and to the other galleries, restaurants, shops, and bars who together comprise the creative soul of the Blue Star Complex and the neighborhood. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hopeful that we can bring the venue back in some form in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
