Three DUMBO artists will soon be elevated from “starving” to “working,” thanks to a developer with a soft spot for creative types.
David Kramer, whose Hudson Companies is building DUMBO’s biggest condo tower, is looking for hungry artists to decorate the glass-walled plinth — and creative types outside the neighborhood under the Manhattan Bridge need not apply.
“He really wants to foster a sense of community between the future residents of the J [Condominium] and the existing DUMBO artists’ community,” said a spokeswoman for the 33-story tower, which is at 100 Jay St.
Kramer is putting his money where his “sense of community” is: Three lucky artists will not only get to display their work in his building, but will split a $16,000 prize. Any artist living or working in DUMBO can apply.
The submission deadline is Feb. 16. For information, e-mail projectdumbo@jcondo.com, or visit www.jcondo.com/projectdumbo.
