Dumbo Arts Center is committed to being a place where artists produce ambitious new work and explore new ways of interacting with the public. We provide lifelong training opportunities for artists of all levels. We also produce large public events such as video_dumbo, a key component of the Dumbo Arts Festival. As a small not-for-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community to support our many programs for artists and public. So please, join us today!

Make it a full day of art events in Dumbo by stopping by the Etsy Labs Craft Night at Brooklyn Bridge Park from 4pm to 8pm. Bring along any craft to work on and some outdoor snacks to Pier 1.
