DUMBO's Art Scene
DUMBO is home to over 170 artist studios and 20 galleries, according to Ariel Willmott, cultural affairs director for the Walentas Family Foundation and Two Trees Management Co.
Despite its gentrified image, DUMBO's history is complex, having transformed from a marshy shoreline to a manufacturing hub, then an industrial wasteland, and finally into a luxury neighborhood.
Most New Yorkers, when they think of DUMBO, picture the glossy waterfront neighborhood it is today—one of the most visibly gentrified corners of Brooklyn.
DUMBO's art scene defies its gentrified image, with a rich history and culture.
