[/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.
