Dumbo Arts Centre

Born out of the art and design festival Art Under the Bridge, and conceived by a group of local artists, the Dumbo Arts Centre was Brooklyn's first non-profit arts organisation founded in 1997. Almost fifteen years later the festival and Dumbo Arts Centre are still going strong, exhibiting work from new and emerging New York based artists alongside already established art world names. Here, Karl Erickson, the executive director of Dumbo tells Crane.tv why the centre is such an intrinsic part of the Brooklyn landscape. Address: 111 Front Street, Suite 212, Brooklyn, NY 11201, www.dumboartscenter.org
