A First Thursday Rooftop Party for the Arts!

You've most likely seen in your news feed organizations speaking about the funds rescinded from the National Endowment for the Arts. Dumbo's beloved arts institutions have also been impacted, together losing more than $100,000 in federal support this year.

Together, these organizations have served Dumbo for decades, supporting hundreds of artists, presenting innovative exhibitions, and creating spaces for community engagement and cultural exchange.

Team Dumbo and Art in Dumbo are uniting to raise funds for these organizations as they face a challenging fiscal year after this significant loss.

RSVP to this Rooftop Party is required. We hope you will consider a donation as part of your RSVP.

Bring your friends, meet fellow art lovers, and toast to a new season of First Thursdays under the Brooklyn skyline. This year, your presence helps sustain the artists and spaces that make Dumbo a hub of culture, community, and connection.

Can't make it but want to donate? You can send your support here!
