D.U.M.B.O

This weekend was the 12th annual Art Under the Bridge Festival in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The weekend-long event hosted various art projects, events, and performances.
I went on Sunday afternoon, and spent a few hours walking around the neighborhood.
My favorite part about the festival is the open artist's studios. Dumbo has a lot of great industrial studio spaces, and it is unusual to be able to just walk into someone's studio and see their work and talk to them.

One artist whose studio I walked into by chance is Ushio Shinohara. Shinohara is a really interesting artist, and I don't know if I would have found out about him if not for the Art Festival.
The festival also had numerous outdoor installations, like this one in Brooklyn Bridge Park:
