Organization Details:

DAC's mission is to engage a broad spectrum of society in the sensory and intellectual stimuli of emerging visual culture by providing visual artists and curators with the singular opportunity for both on and off-site experimentation, innovation, presentation and advancement.

Description and/or History:
Founded by artists in the wake of the first festival in 1997, DAC was the first non-profit arts organization in Dumbo. By attracting thousands of visitors and media attention to the once abandoned manufacturing area of Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), DAC's role has been pivotal in the establishment of Dumbo as a recognized neighborhood and cultural destination.
