The 15th annual Dumbo Arts Festival, a three-day extravaganza that will showcase more than 500 artists, 120 open art studios and 40 live performances – all free of charge – will take place Friday, September 23 – Sunday, September 25 in the Dumbo neighborhood on the Brooklyn waterfront, between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges.  The Festival will present artwork in and around Dumbo street corners, parks, bridges, galleries, storefronts, performance venues and studios.

The multidisciplinary Festival will include visual and performance art, open studios, music and literature, family programming and more. Among this year’s Festival highlights are monumental outdoor exhibitions, cutting-edge and technologically-advanced video projections on Dumbo’s bridges and buildings and interactive projects and performances.  Genre highlights are listed below.

Originally conceived and organized by the Dumbo Arts Center in 1997, and known as the “Art Under the Bridge Festival,” the Festival has grown and evolved with the changing neighborhood to include more artists, more disciplines and now new media.  In 2010, Two Trees Management, a founding sponsor of the Festival, increased its support by managing the production of the Festival – which has since become known at the Dumbo Arts Festival.

This year, AT&T has become major sponsor of the Dumbo Arts Festival and will be integrated into various aspects of the festival, including sponsoring a signature installation that will be a cornerstone of this year’s artistic programming as well a new Festival app that will guide visitors through the Festival’s projects.  Dozens of personal guides, with Wi-Fi-enabled tablets and spread out across Dumbo, will direct, teach and interact with festival-goers using the robust AT&T network.  The festival will include a lounge with amenities powered by AT&T, including charging stations and AT&T Wi-Fi-enabled products featuring an interactive festival map.
