Artists selected for barricade cover design in DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge Park
9 artist designs now installed in area
DUMBO – The DUMBO Improvement District and Brooklyn Bridge Park have announced 11 selected designs from nine artists for barricade cover designs to be installed throughout Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO with the goal of enlivening the streetscape and bringing forth a spirit of togetherness within the neighborhood.
The barricades, featuring the work by these talented artists, will be stationed throughout Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO as placemaking in situ, as well as for street closings, at events and for other purposes—often in busy areas that serve as well-known photo opportunities, such as along the waterfront, Washington Street and more. The barricade cover art will be on display for two years, rotating throughout the neighborhood and park during that time period.
The selected designs and artists include:
