What: FIGMENT is an explosion of creative energy. It’s a free, annual celebration of participatory art and culture where everything is possible. For one weekend each summer, it transforms Governors Island into a large-scale collaborative artwork \u2014 and then it’s gone.<\/p>\n

\nSunday, June 8 \u2014 10AM – 6PM<\/p>\n

Where: Governors Island, NYC\u2026 a short ferry-ride from lower Manhattan and Brooklyn! Click here for directions.<\/p>\n

How Much: FREE! FIGMENT is a free, non-profit event, and we do not accept corporate sponsorships.<\/p>\n

What to Bring: Whatever you need for a day of fun. For specific ideas or if you have specific questions, view our list! Note: The event is rain-or-shine. If the forecast calls for rain, be prepared to hide \u2014 or dance \u2014 under porches, arches, and umbrellas while the clouds pass.<\/p>\n

What to Expect: Art and activities in every medium available\u2026 especially the art and activities that YOU bring! We’ll be posting a schedule of registered art and activities.<\/p>\n

FIGMENT Reminders: To make sure you and all other visitors have a fun and safe experience, please keep the following in mind:<\/p>\n

It is NOT SAFE to CLIMB the art
\nYOUR child = YOUR responsibility
\nTREAT the art like it was your HOME
\nIt is NEVER “just you” doing it!
\nTHINK before you ACT
\nMake the art look even BETTER for the NEXT VISITOR
\nHow to Help: We invite people to sign up to volunteer to help at the event, and sign up for our email list for continued opportunities to help out throughout the year. If you enjoy your experiences at FIGMENT, please make a donation to help us in 2014!<\/p>\n

LEAVE NO TRACE: We adhere to a “Leave No Trace” ethic, and ask you to do the same. If you bring it with you, either bring it back or make sure it gets into a trash receptacle.<\/p>\n

NO TRANSACTIONS: One of our goals is to create a social and creative experience uninterrupted by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. FIGMENT does not sell anything on the Island, and does not allow commerce of any kind.<\/p>\n
