Salsa, gospel, ballet and more in inaugural Downtown Brooklyn arts festival
This month, Brooklyn’s arts institutions are coming together in the epicenter of the borough’s arts district to put on the first ever Downtown Brooklyn Arts Festival: Discover the District.
The festival, which will run from Friday, Sept. 21 through Sunday, Sept. 23, is the result of collaboration between BRIC, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Brooklyn Public Library, the Mark Morris Dance Group, Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), Theater for a New Audience and more.
The weekend is scheduled to kick off on Friday night, rain or shine, with a special iteration of the beloved Soul Summit, the Fort Greene dance party that celebrated its fifteenth year running this past summer.
