Shop the Studios

Just in time for the holidays, 35 artists in DUMBO will open their studios to the public to sell their art on Saturday, December 10, 12-4pm. Organized by the DUMBO Improvement District and Art in DUMBO, Shop the Studios is an opportunity to connect directly with artists working in DUMBO, Brooklyn, explore their studios, and take home an original artwork priced for the holidays.

Shop the Studios is organized in coordination with the DUMBO x Brooklyn Flea Holiday Market in the Archway, the iconic 45-foot-high plaza under the Manhattan Bridge. The Brooklyn Flea Holiday Market regularly attracts thousands of visitors, so this cooperative event is intended to bring artwork sales and visibility to the local creative community by encouraging market-goers to visit local art studios.

All are welcome. RSVP is not required, but if you’d like a reminder, you can register. An event map is available, too! Stop by the Shop the Studios information table at the Brooklyn Flea market to learn more.
