Fall Arts Travel: Under the Bridge in DUMBO

September 25, 2008 at 11:00 AM | 1 Comment

Summer's end doesn't mean New York's done with free festivals. In fact, one of the city's most unique art festivals gets going this weekend.

The 12th annual DUMBO Arts Under the Bridge Festival will take over more or less an entire Brooklyn neighborhood this Friday through Sunday, with hundreds of public art projects and open studios.

As you might expect if you've ever been to über-artsy DUMBO, you won't catch many painting or photography exhibits here. Art in this case is more along the lines of interactive exhibits like Politaoke, which lets you karaoke along to your favorite political speeches; and a "borderless installation" that has something to do with eating a pile of potatoes.
