Figment
Figment is a "celebration of art and creative culture held 10 minutes from New York City on Governors Island. Expect a dizzying array of fabulous art and activities, spanning a variety of imaginative possibilities ranging from ambitious sculptures to exquisite performance to wild costuming to edgy arts and crafts and beyond.
Figment's creative spirit is enhanced by its location, Governors Island. Governors Island is a former military base undergoing a rejuvenation as a ecologically sustainable public space for the people of New York City. It boasts breathtaking city views, endless green meadows and historic buildings and monuments.
Figment presents a clean slate for you to realize your vision! Through collaborative and interactive art, volunteering and fun, Figment seeks to build a community based on creativity and participation. For attendance and transportation details click here.
