    It may change depending on your version/how you installed it, but an easy way to check is to do the following:

    1. Open Gimp.
    2. Go to Edit -> Preferences
    3. On the left, you'll have a series of options. Under the Folders group, select Brushes.
    4. You should have two options. One will be in your Program Files folder, the other wherever your personal documents are.
    5. The brushes go in the folder for the personal documents.
    Then you just place them in, reopen Gimp, and you should be good to go. =]
