Call for Participation: Figment
FIGMENT is a free, annual celebration of participatory art and culture where everything is possible. As America and New York come to grips with economic recession, a free participatory arts event is more important than ever.
FIGMENT 2009 will be held from June 12 – 14th on Governors Island, and will also be hosting two season-long projects on the island: an interactive sculpture exhibit and an artistic mini-golf course.
FIGMENT is an opportunity for artists to share their work, and our only condition for you to submit your art is that you understand and accept the spirit of FIGMENT. Our artistic vision emphasizes participation and community building, and we create an environment free from commercialism. Opportunities to participate stretch as far as your imagination – sign up now to be a part of it!
Art projects will be reviewed for FIGMENT through a curatorial process, based on artistic merit, ambitiousness, and interactivity. There is a lot of room on Governors Island to fill with art; our goal is to include as many projects as possible.
Once you have submitted your project, one of our curators will be in touch with you. For Q&A about bringing your artwork, please refer to http://figmentnyc.org/2009/2009-event/artist-qa/. If you have any immediate questions, please contact us at curatorial@figmentnyc.org. To submit your project, please go to http://figmentnyc.org/2009/get-involved/submit-a-project/.
