This year’s DUMBO Arts Festival runs from September 23 – 25, centrally located on a stretch of DUMBO’s Water Street. For the event, Aperture will create a pop-up bookstore, featuring titles from our fabulous Fall lineup, as well as older classics.

Our partner United Photo Industries will be using an eco-friendly but unusual exhibition model: shipping containers. They are also looking for work by American photographers to include in their foto/pod “shantytown.” With upwards of 185,000 visitors over the three day festival, it’s a great opportunity to network and be seen. Click here for more information and to find out how to submit your work before the September 1st deadline!

A new initiative by the New York Photo Festival, Capture Brooklyn is a juried exhibition of contemporary photography that seeks to capture the spirit and essence of Brooklyn as a way of promoting and celebrating New York-based photographers.  The jury this year will be Mike Foley, Founder of Foley Gallery; Susanne Konig, Director of The powerHouse Arena; Teresa Rad, Director of Art Production at TBWA\Chiat\Day – New York; and Doug Rickard, Founder & Editor in Chief of AmericanSuburbX.com

Three top prize winners will be selected, and 80 photographs chosen from submissions will be exhibited at The powerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn.  The show’s official opening will coincide with this year’s Dumbo Arts Festival (September 24-26), and the exhibition will continue until October 15, 2010.

Act now! The submission deadline is August 29, 2010
