Art Abounds in All Corners of Governors Island
Aug 18, 2011 4:02 pm
Many visitors to Governors Island have seen the incredible Mark di Suvero exhibition by Storm King Art Center, but did you know that there are nearly a dozen historic buildings that have been transformed by exhibitions this season?
Houses in Nolan Park and Colonels Row are being used by groups such as the Sculptors Guild, Harvest Works, Children’s Museum of the Arts, West Harlem Art Fund, the New New, Empire Historic Arts, the National Academy of the Arts and Storm King Art Center. These groups have created unique, dynamic visual arts exhibitions, interactive and sound installations for visitors to enjoy.

Be sure to stop by any house with a blue “Visitors Welcome” flag to see what they are all about. And, more groups will be presenting new works before the end of the season. In just a few weeks, the 4 Heads, will bring their Art Fair to Building 12.
