"We never expected to redefine our relationship with Brooklyn based on the possibility that Jay-Z and Beyoncé would become residents. They're mulling the $25 million Clock Tower in Dumbo, and if they buy it, they can duet to "Crazy in Love" in the shower with views of the Statue of Liberty. See if any Roc Nation interns are hauling stuff inside 1 Main Street before heading to the Pop-Up Art Sale (Dumbo Arts Center, 30 Washington St at Water St; 718-694-0831; Fri 6-9pm, Sat noon-8pm, Sun noon-6pm; free). Artists-178, in fact-will sell work starting at $50. Half of the proceeds benefit the DAC, artists keep the rest, and you head home with a piece of Brooklyn." TIME OUT NY

"Our favorite Dumbo art non-profit has a knack for throwing great fund-raisers, like this year's three-day exhibition and sale of affordable artworks starting at $50. Half the money goes to the DAC and half goes to the artists, but all the fun goes to you."The L Magazine

"Shopping for art can sometimes be a real pain-it's either too expensive or not unique enough. Handily solving both problems, the Dumbo Arts Center is hosting a Great Pop-Up Art Sale that'll feature roughly 200 artists with art as inexpensive as 50 bucks and guaranteed to not look like it belongs in your dentist's waiting room. Highlights include a bright yellow, Matrix-like abstract painting by Daniel Zeller; a sculpture of an ancient-looking Asian fellow atop a trophy by Hedi Sorger; and-our favorite-teeth X-rays contained inside a tiny dental-floss package by Tara Parsons."The Village Voice

"We Brokelynites love art. Of course we're cultural like that! As Brokelynites, we also sometimes (have to) categorize "art sales" under "wish list." Not this weekend, guys! Dumbo Arts Center-the group behind the annual Art Under the Bridge fest-brings you the Great Pop-Up Art Sale, a three-day exhibition and sale of affordable artworks. Brokelyn is co-sponsoring this event, so it's no wonder the prices start at $50. Half of those proceeds go to DAC's efforts to support the creation of new art, and the other half goes to the artists. But the glory of finding a unique piece that you can actually afford-that all goes to you."brokelyn.com
