Over the last few centuries, Brooklyn has churned out famous poets, rappers, filmmakers and dancers, including Walt Whitman, Spike Lee and Biggie Smalls. This cultural synergy is as active as ever in Brooklyn, particularly in the Brooklyn Cultural District neighboring Pacific Park. Here artists converge to make music, art, dance, and performances at 50 different cultural institutions including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, BRIC Arts Media, Theater for a New Audience, and the Mark Morris Dance Group.
