Fall Arts Week on Governors Island

A diverse col­lab­o­ra­tive of arts and cul­tur­al orga­ni­za­tions that call Gov­er­nors Island home present this joint ros­ter of exhi­bi­tions, open stu­dios, events and activ­i­ties span­ning sev­er­al days in Sep­tem­ber as a part of the inau­gur­al Fall Arts Week on Gov­er­nors Island.

Works from more than 50 dif­fer­ent artists will be on dis­play, con­cen­trat­ed in the his­toric hous­es of Nolan Park and Colonels Row. Vis­i­tors will be able to move from house to house and inter­act direct­ly both art and artists, draw­ing from a com­pelling mix of visu­al art pieces, new media, sound­scapes, sculp­ture, con­cep­tu­al art, out­sider art and more — a col­lec­tion unlike any in New York City, in a total­ly unique setting.

This pro­found­ly inter­dis­ci­pli­nary selec­tion of works explores themes of iden­ti­ty, mem­o­ry, fam­i­ly, gen­der equi­ty, colo­nial­ism, envi­ron­men­tal inter­ac­tions and crises, the U.S. prison sys­tem, the inter­sec­tion of arts and tech­nol­o­gy, dou­ble-con­scious­ness and more. Par­tic­i­pat­ing orga­ni­za­tions will also hold free com­mu­ni­ty build­ing activ­i­ties, per­for­mances, meet-the-artist events and work­shops through­out the week.

Full sched­ule to be announced soon.
