The MPL Project is going to Figment

At the 2008 Figment Festival FIGMENT, the annual celebration of creative culture on Governors Island in New York Harbor. During the festival, the island is filled with sculpture, art and creative projects by local artists.  The art and atmosphere combined with the beautiful views from the island make for a perfect summer kick-off.
