Dumbo Art Under the Bridge Festival 2010
24 – 26 September, 2010
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) is pleased to present the Dumbo Art Under the Bridge Festival,T sponsored by Current. For the 13th year running, the entire neighborhood of Dumbo, Brooklyn, will become a multi-sensory art arena, FREE and open to all.
Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (DUMBO) refers to the area located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, which connect Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River, and another which continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hill area. Historically a haven for artists, due to the relatively low-priced tenancies, recent renovation, which increased the number of trendy establishments, has resulted in an increasingly gentrified area.
Over the Festival weekend, art will be happening everywhere: streets, sidewalks, storefronts, elevators, lobbies, the water, the waterfront, parks, nooks, crannies, NY Water Taxi, and more. Along with the 65+ new public art projects, over 100 local artists will open their studios to the public and at the new Galapagos Art Space, video_dumbo will feature a non-stop program of cutting edge video art from NYC and around the world.
The Festival presents art that breaks the white cube: art that is touchable, accessible and interactive. The appeal is universal: for many of the anticipated 150,000 visitors, the Festival will be their first encounter with art and artists.
