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 art scene thrives, defying expectations of a neighborhood often associated with luxury and commercialism.
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.
The neighborhood has undergone significant transformations, from a marshy shoreline to a manufacturing hub, and eventually, an industrial wasteland, before being redeveloped into its current state.
DUMBO now boasts a mix of luxury condos, boutique retail, design firms, and destination dining and hospitality.
