I am still waiting for something really monumental to happen that will change DUMBO from being a sleepy little mini-Dayton Ohio into the raging cultural scene. In the meantime we have the Annual DUMBO Art Under the Bridge Festival from Sept. 26 to 28 which is often not too terrible AND the newly minty and waterier Galapagos Arts Space.
Galapagos has teamed up with The Field, which I find to be an interesting development because they are actually presenting something that looks and smells like arts advocacy.

W O W –thanks for all the great picks, Esa!
I didn’t know that the Field and Galapagos were collaborating–but I will definitely be attending that discussion! Sounds very interesting.
And please, I would love to know more about the similarities between DUMBO and Dayton, Ohio!

How do you find time for all this? Are you secretly sneaking out of the office? Is this the reason we have a balcony? And why is the Metal Ball squeezed in this never ending list, instead of an extra post?
