紅磚美術(shù)館地處北京市朝陽區(qū)東北部一號地國際藝術(shù)區(qū)，園區(qū)占地面積約二萬平方米，展館面積近一萬平方米，由收藏家閆士杰和曹梅夫婦創(chuàng)立，于2012年年底開館試運營。美術(shù)館建筑及園林設(shè)計統(tǒng)一由北京大學(xué)建筑研究中心教授董豫贛擔綱，采用紅色磚塊作為基本建筑元素，努力在建造砌筑過程中不切割、盡量保證每一塊磚體的完整性從而構(gòu)成了獨特的建筑語言，打造出一座于生長于喧囂之外、懷擁自然的園林式當代美術(shù)館。

紅磚美術(shù)館主體建筑分為地上兩層及局部地下一層，其中包括9個展覽空間、2個公共休閑空間、1個藝術(shù)衍生品空間。作為紅磚美術(shù)館與其他美術(shù)館在建筑構(gòu)成上的最大不同——一座采用中國傳統(tǒng)園林意象精心打造的現(xiàn)代園林，構(gòu)成了參觀體驗和建筑結(jié)構(gòu)上的雙重延伸，而美術(shù)館的學(xué)術(shù)報告廳、餐廳、咖啡廳和會員俱樂部等配套設(shè)施也正散落于此。
未來，紅磚美術(shù)館將通過有序且高質(zhì)量的系列展覽，結(jié)合收藏、研究、教育、出版和公共活動，推動中國當代藝術(shù)的發(fā)展、參與國際當代藝術(shù)家（項目）交流，展開學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域突出問題和現(xiàn)象研究，為中國當代民營美術(shù)館的運營及發(fā)展模式，提供可行性參考。
