FIGMENT
An explosion of creativity…

June 12 – June 14
Governors Island

FIGMENT is a unique event, a collection of interactive art, music and dance featuring the works of hundreds of emerging artists, including a fantastical mini-golf course unlike any other and a season-long sculpture exhibit. Located on the historic and placid Governors Island in New York Harbor, FIGMENT is a non-commercial, de-commodified, volunteer-run, environmentally responsible event that fosters community and celebrates the New York art scene in its purest form: participatory, brilliantly creative and absolutely free.

Be one of the tens of thousands of people to experience first hand the future of arts and culture in New York City.
