This event has ended.

FIGMENT NYC, a free, family-friendly participatory summer-long arts event will be returning to Governors Island for the 8th time, bringing together hundreds of professional artists and thousands of visitors to create art and explore art in every imaginable medium. New York’s residents and visitors are invited to Governors Island to participate in a multitude of interactive art projects, unlocking their creativity and finding new inspiration. Visitors are invited to bring their own participatory art projects, too!

FIGMENT NYC Weekend: June 7 & 8
FIGMENT NYC kicks off the season with FIGMENT NYC Weekend, taking place on June 7th and 8th from 10 am to 6 pm. Their volunteers take over Governors Island, filling this hidden jewel in New York Harbor with art of every imaginable style and medium. The one thing all of the projects have in common is that visitors are invited to take part - through exploration, play, dance, and paint! This is a hands-on festival. FIGMENT’s collaborative projects often explore historical, current, and environmental issues while showcasing New York City’s diverse community. A full list of artists and projects, along with a schedule of events, will be available at http://www.figmentproject.org/

Visitors taking the 10 am and 11 am ferries from Manhattan and the 11 am and 11:30 am ferries from Brooklyn ride free. Adults can purchase $2 round-trip tickets online or at the dock for afternoon ferries. Children under 12 ride the ferry for free at all times. More information is available on the Governors Island website.
