[cap­tion id=“attachment_3493” align=“aligncenter” width=“200” caption=“The New New has trans­formed on of the Island’s his­toric homes into a unique bou­tique filled with hand­made items”][/​caption] Gov­er­nors Island is pleased to be home to a wide array of artis­tic and cul­tur­al activ­i­ties and pro­grams for vis­i­tors of all ages to enjoy. This year, the New New, a group of inde­pen­dent Etsy artists and crafts­man, have brought their unique art­work, jew­el­ry, glass, ceram­ics and tex­tiles to the Island and its vis­i­tors. Every Fri­day — Sun­day through ear­ly Sep­tem­ber, vis­i­tors can stop by House 6 B in beau­ti­ful Nolan Park to see a trea­sure trove of home­made crafts that are avail­able for pur­chase. Many of the pieces have been inspired by the Island itself, as well as its his­to­ry. Oth­ers reflect the Har­bor or even the fer­ry ter­mi­nal. You can see hand­bags, ear­rings, t‑shirts, tea tow­els and more. All vis­i­tors are invit­ed to stop into the Trea­sure Chest, speak to mem­bers of The New New and see these incred­i­ble hand­made items.
