NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) was established as a means of preserving the identity of Dumbo as a vital artists’ community. DAC's mission is to catalyze interaction between visual artists, the local community and the wider public, in order to preserve the neighborhood of Dumbo as a springboard for new art.

DAC promotes the work of emerging artists by way of five or six group exhibitions every year. DAC also commissions site-specific art and provides educational programs for artists and high school students.

DAC now offers art workshops for kids and families, as well as family activities such as the Monster Drawing Rally, a live drawing event.
