DUMBO Galleries To Stay Open Late This Week For Art Walk

DUMBO, NY — Galleries along the waterfront in DUMBO will stay open late and host special events this week as part of a monthly series of art walks in the neighborhood, organizers announced.

The First Thursday Gallery Walk returns to the neighborhood this week with live performances, open studios and nearly 10 galleries along the water for the event, said organizers Art in DUMBO.

The walk will feature London-based artist Zach Blas's debut New York solo exhibition, "Contra-Internet," at Art In General, 145 Plymouth St., along with a premiere of his new film "Jubilee 2033," according to organizers.

The A.I.R. Gallery at 155 Plymouth St. will host a one-night-only performance about "the right to life from the perspective of a fetus" by Parastoo Ahoon during the walk and Triangle Arts Association will open up the studios of their artists and students in residence, Art in DUMBO said.

The event is free and will run from 6 to 8 p.m., with local spots offering up drink special after the tour, organizers said.
