The lion’s share of the art galleries in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood, long housed along a hallway on the second floor of 111 Front Street, will move this spring. Two Trees Management, the real estate company that owns many of the buildings in the neighborhood, including 111 Front Street, will provide new spaces for most of the galleries in storefront locations along Plymouth Street and in the former Galapagos Art Space building. The moves are due to happen in late April and early May.
The street artist Craig Anthony Miller is suing the real estate developer Toll Brothers for using a mural he painted in Dumbo, Brooklyn, to market a nearby condo development. Miller, known by his tag “CAM,” claims in court documents that a “very recognizable” portion of the large mural — which he painted with fellow members of the 303 Collective — was featured in advertisements for the Toll Brothers project 205 Water Street in New York City subways, on bus shelters, on phone booths, and in a newspaper advertisement in 2012, according to the New York Post.
