Every pub­lic access sea­son Gov­er­nors Island becomes an oasis for the arts — with sculp­ture, per­for­mance and diverse cul­tur­al exper­i­men­ta­tion to be expe­ri­enced across the Island. As of this spring the open­ing of the Low­er Man­hat­tan Cul­tur­al Coun­cil​’s art cen­ter in Build­ing 110 means that Gov­er­nors Island has res­i­dent artists hard at work year round. In the months before pub­lic access the artists have been a wel­come sight on the qui­et Island as they take advan­tage of the sites, mate­ri­als and inspi­ra­tion the Island has to offer in every sea­son. Now, their work and their process can be shared by the pub­lic through­out the pub­lic access months.

The New York Times high­lights the Island art cen­ter in a June 1 arti­cle enti­tled, Exot­ic Isle for Artists, Right in City.

Exhi­bi­tions, open stu­dios and per­for­mances will be ongo­ing through­out the sea­son. For more infor­ma­tion vis­it LMCC at  www​.lmcc​.net.
