Following the popularity of last year’s foto/pods deployment, and the runaway success of Photoville, United Photo Industries returns to the DUMBO Arts Festival with foto/pods 2012 – a hamlet of shipping container exhibitions, tents, outdoor projections and much much more.

And we are looking to YOU to send us your best, most imaginative proposals for a photo-based exhibition in a shipping container, Photoville-style.

The Dumbo Arts Festival is a multi-disciplinary arts festival that presents the best in local, national, and international art – attracting more than 200,000 visitors over 3 days amid the breathtaking backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline.

Submit your best idea, and if selected, we’ll provide the shipping container, the lights, the hanging rails, the art handlers, the staffing — pretty much everything but the art!

The one and only rule is that you have a 20ft shipping container and it’s yours to do what you like. The shipping container is your oyster!
