If you’ve been wishing that you could see
the works at 10 DUMBO art galleries in just two hours, Two Trees
Management has a plan for you.
While DUMBO does have its annual, weekend-long celebration of
performing and visual arts, the DUMBO Art Center’s "Art
Under the Bridge Festival," each fall, this month’s bite-size
gallery tour is another welcome event to lure fine arts aficionados
back to the neighborhood nestled around the Manhattan Bridge
overpass.
On March 31, the galleries at 111 Front St. at Washington Street
will throw open their doors from 6 pm to 8 pm, so visitors can
participate in the "Gallery Hop."
Among the works on display will be photographs by Manuel Geerinck
at 5+5 Gallery (pictured); as well as works inspired by that
other artist-rich neighborhood, Williamsburg, at Safe-T-Gallery;
paintings by Andre Martinez at Henry Gregg Gallery; photographs
by Richard Avedon at Howard Schickler Fine Art and more.
Two Trees, which is hosting the tour, is one of the largest property
owners in DUMBO and landlord to all of the galleries on the tour
(also to The Brooklyn Papers).
The reception will be catered by DUMBO’s own Bubby’s and Rice
restaurants, with wines from Mionetto and tea from Ito En.
