Artist studios are coming to Governors Island
Oct 28, 2008 2:58 pm
Last week, we announced that the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) will bring artist studios and exhibition space to Governors Island.They will create studio space for visual and performing artists and program a schedule of exhibitions to draw new and diverse audiences here. They will be housed in Building 110, which you can see here. The Building is located right next to the ferry and provides unparalleled views of Lower Manhattan and New York Harbor. We are thrilled that LMCC’s programs will bring artists to the Island and create these outstanding programs. It will also mark the first time that people will come to work on the Island each day who do not work for the Island itself. It is another incredible example of how the arts are bringing Governors Island back to life. LMCC joins the New York Harbor School as the Island’s first tenants. The Harbor School will open in 2010 when 425 New York City public high school students will come to school each day here.
