the dumbo arts festival, in pictures

This past weekend, DUMBO once again played host to one of the most fun and interactive art festivals I’ve ever visited – and there were plenty of surprises. Galleries in old dumpsters and shipping containers, crazy light shows on the Manhattan Bridge, and fascinating exhibits with subjects as diverse as Brooklyn’s own residents. I met up with Barry and Ed Friday night to check it out, and though some of the exhibits were closed (or hadn’t yet opened? I still can’t figure that aspect of the scheduling out) we had a fun time trekking around the ‘hood.

Check out some great shots of the festival that are already cropping up in our Flickr group! What were your favorite exhibits?
