The act of hearing and seeing other artists' ideas is important. Although their ideas may not directly inspire or inform your work, the reality that they exist may push you to your own realizations. We wish to help that interaction between artists. Similar fields or widely diverse, each artist have their dimension to share.The act of hearing and seeing other artists' ideas is important.

Wow...what an amazing shot! Each separate element would have been great by itself, but this manages to catch everything at just the right moment. This is my favorite bridge in New York City, and here it's captured it so well. Unbelievable...the comparison of something so big with something so small. I was already really impressed with this shot, and then I scrolled down and saw the bird! How did the photographer manage to catch that bird? I'm not sure it could be more perfect than this. There are those rare pictures that make something entirely different, and I would definitely say: mission accomplished here. This is a picture of a bridge that people have seen a thousand times, but it makes it new and different once more. Perfect. The bird is just the cherry on top! Timing is a wonderful thing.

Betsy Alwin’s playful Volley is a dual projection of a ball bouncing to and fro under the bridge architecture. Serving both as mischievous interruption and metronomic cadence, Volley counts the passing of time in the over-sized environment of the bridges and invites contemplation of the scale through vicarious interaction.

Move over, Manhattan avant-garde art world—your equally progressive (and arguably hipper) sister borough's 12th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival is in full swing. Considered to be the largest urban experimental-art symposium in the country, the festival displays the untamed works of more than 70 artists in every nook and cranny imaginable, from streets to sidewalks to storefronts to the waterfront to even the loading docks. Works of local interest include Martine Kaczynski's Sky-rights, in which the artist rents out platforms of scaffolding as a critique on gentrification and the bloodsucking real-estate market, and Chin Chih Yang's inconvenient truth titled 2050 Dumbo, a multimedia video projection that "drowns" the neighborhood in water to show the destruction that rising sea levels can do. And speaking of water, take a ride on the Water Taxi with Diana Arce's Politaoke ("POLITical"; speeches as “karAOKE”), where you can shout out or sing your best partisan or bipartisan BS—just like the candidates!
