The 13th DUMBO Art Under The Bridge Festival sponsored by The DUMBO Arts Center will be held September 25 through 27, 2009. Over 100,000 visitors will come to DUMBO for this festival. You can be part of it. Gleason’s Gym closes for workouts on Saturday and Sunday and opens as an Art Gallery. For the past two years we had over 35 artists show their creations. All Medium of Art is welcome. We have had painters, photographers, sculptors, illustrators, authors, furniture makers and vocalists. The only requirement is that the art has something to do with boxing. Gleason’s Gym will pay all fees associated with the show and you keep 100% of what you sell.
