DAC’s “Secret Garden pARTy II” is a sequel to last year’s successful fundraiser. We will have a relaxed, pleasurable garden-themed environment (with real grass!) for guests to enjoy wine or cocktails, music, audio-scapes and a surprise or two! Art will be sold as part of the evening-long silent auction.
 
Join us for art, music, drinks and surprises in an indoor garden. Silent auction will feature work by emerging and established artists, including:
 
John Baldessari, Lea Bertucci, Todd Bourret, Alexander Calder, Scott Calhoun, Heather Cantrell, Sean Capone, Dawn Chase, Diana Cooper, Zoe Crosher, Megan Cump, Karl Erickson, Coleen Fitzgibbon, Jess Fuller, Becky Howland, Ryan Humphrey, Wade Kavanaugh, Keith Mayerson, Russell Nachman, Jill Newman, Stephen B. Nguyen, Laurie Nye, Tom Otterness, John Ensor Parker, Mac Premo, Larry Rivers, Peter Rostovsky, John Spinks, Janos Stone and more to come!
 
The Secret Garden Party Benefit Committee is Jennifer Roux, Julie Martin, Caryn Coleman, Karl Erickson, Heather Hubbs, Lisa Kim, Jen Liu and Maya Taylor.
Dumbo Arts Center is committed to be a place where artists produce ambitious new work and explore new ways of interacting with the public. Further we provide lifelong training opportunities for artists of all levels. We also produce large public events such as video_dumbo, a key component of the Dumbo Arts Festival. As a small not-for-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community to support our many programs for artists and public!
 
Dumbo Arts Center produces art exhibitions and events, as well provides life-long learning opportunities for artists of all levels. Through all we do for artists, we keep the creative spirit in Dumbo, Brooklyn and all of New York alive and thriving. This is an especially important task in our increasingly commercialized and competitive art world. As a small, nimble not-for-profit, we are able to work directly with artists to fully explore their ideas and passions outside of concerns of the market.
Online auction preview coming soon.
 
Proceeds directly benefit the creation of new art through DAC's exhibition program, and allow DAC to provide events for artists and the public free of charge. DAC's mission is to catalyze interaction between visual artists, the local community and the wider public.
