Call for Art: FIGMENT Sculpture Garden / Minigolf Course
FIGMENT
(New York NY)

In June 2007, a group of New Yorkers came together for a new kind of arts event on Governors Island in New York Harbor--FIGMENT, a free event in which everyone is invited to participate and collaborate to create artwork and build community. By 2009, FIGMENT had grown to a 3-day event, in which over 13,000 participants came to interact and engage with over 400 participatory arts projects. FIGMENT also presented several summer-long projects, including an 18-hole mini golf course designed by artists and a 16-piece large-scale interactive sculpture garden, which were enjoyed by an estimated 40,000 people from June through October.

FIGMENT is now accepting proposals until March 1 for its summer-long exhibitions on New York’s Governors Island: the FIGMENT Sculpture Garden and Mini Golf Course.

FIGMENT Sculpture Garden – FIGMENT plans to host an exhibition of interactive sculpture on Governors Island for the second year in a row, and invites your submissions of artwork. Artists are welcome to submit both existing pieces and proposals for new pieces, but all work must be interactive in some way. Submission deadline: March 1. More details at http://figmentproject.org/sculpturegarden.

FIGMENT Minigolf – Artists are invited to submit designs for the highly successful FIGMENT Minigolf Course, which has appeared on Governors Island in 2008 and 2009, and has entertained tens of thousands of visitors to the island. Submission deadline: March 1. More details at http://figmentproject.org/minigolf.
