This week, The Trust for Gov­er­nors Island’s Leslie Koch is lead­ing a vir­tu­al con­ver­sa­tion about this top­ic as a part of the Philip John­son Glass House­’s Glass House Con­ver­sa­tions” series. We would like to invite all of you to post your thoughts on Leslie’s question. 

What role do pub­lic spaces that dou­ble as His­toric land­marks play in gath­er­ing, recre­ation and cul­ture in a city? What new forms of col­lab­o­ra­tion, pro­gram­ming, and online con­nec­tions can be (or already have been) devel­oped for bring­ing peo­ple togeth­er in pub­lic spaces?”

Join the con­ver­sa­tion and tell us what you think about Gov­er­nors Island or oth­er pub­lic space’s role in arts and culture.
