Countdown to Figment

The Governor's Island Figment Festival is rapidly becoming a summer opening event.

The island is filled with music, activities, sculpture and art of all kinds.  Housed in and surrounding buildings built 200 years ago, there is a lot of interaction. It's a park with fantastic views of New York Harbor, Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.  It's also free ... completely free, even the ferry ride is free.  And who doesn't like a Ferry ride.

When you arrive at FIGMENT, you'll have the opportunity to experience 400 art pieces, projects, and performances... with only one common theme: you are asked to participate, create, and engage!

..in addition, the City of Dreams will be open on weekends until mid-October with a large-scale interactive sculpture garden and an artistic mini-golf course.

Here are some quick links for you:
Getting There: Governors Island is easy to reach from both lower Manhattan and Brooklyn's Fulton Ferry Landing. The ferry is free, fast, and runs frequently!

Map, Schedule, Projects, & Artists: An amazing amount of music, events, family and children activities.  Everything from yoga to coloring. And the amazing art!

The MPL Project will be there so you can help us build a Mass Manifesting Mobile!  Stop by and add your creativity to this project. 

You can see photos from last year's event here.  It's bound to be a fun experience for everyone!
