Join us Thursday, April 5 for DUMBO’s monthly First Thursday Gallery Walk!
It’s officially spring! Celebrate the new season with us at DUMBO’s monthly First Thursday Gallery Walk on Thursday, April 5. During the first Thursday of every month, the galleries of DUMBO stay open late, hosting special events and receptions. Participate in the gallery hop and see us at NYFA Gallery, where we’ll be presenting Feral Visions: An Exhibition of NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Finalists and a 6:30 PM poetry reading by Asiya Wadud (Finalist in Poetry ‘17).
