Dumbo Arts Festival

At the 2010 Dumbo Arts Festival, we saw nylon-clad gladiators attacking one another with water balloons, murals by Mania, Imminent Disaster, and Chris Stain; a three-piece brass-punk-ska-band; Smack Mellon transformed into a 1930s cruise ship; and a cat who leads an anti–Coca Cola campaign. Dozens and dozens of other installations, open studios, and performances continue today.
