The 500 Club
2. A schedule boasting over 500 artists can be overwhelming - but it doesn't have to be.
The Dumbo Arts Festival website has an awesome feature that allows you to sift through the weekend's festivities and find artwork and events that appeal to you. Whether you're looking to stop in on an artist's open studio on Saturday morning or observe a circus act on the street, you can plan your weekend before you even make your way over to DUMBO. Among our favorite finds is artist Wildbytes's "Superhero" projection map, which offers participants the opportunity to become superheroes. Just bring a spare cape to the festival and fly, fly away... just don't expect that your super powers will extend beyond the weekend.
