You’ve been mean­ing to get out to Gov­er­nors Island all sum­mer. You read the New York Mag­a­zine piece ear­ly in the sea­son. You tore out the Time Out New York guide and hung it on your fridge. You even made it most of the way though the New York­er arti­cle. Maybe you sub­scribed to our blog and thought our Twit­ter feed would remind you. All your friends have been here for pic­nics, bik­ing, art, minigolf, and all things avante-Dutch. You told your­self you’d get out there next week. But it rained. Andy­ou were afraid of the cow. What­ev­er, you did­n’t make it out, and now it’s fall. The New Island Fes­ti­val is gone; Pio­neers of Change is over; Cre­ative Time has packed its bags. You’ll try again next year. . .Well, you’re in luck. Gov­er­nors Island is open for 2 more week­ends! And now that the crowds — and the cow — are gone, there’s no bet­ter time to vis­it. There are still a lot of things to see and do here. See below for a list of our ongo­ing pro­grams: Build­ing 11: Angel Oren­sanz (Sat­ur­day and Sun­day only) – LAST WEEK­END Build­ing 14 Lawn: Children’s Muse­um of the Arts – LAST WEEK­END Build­ing 19 A &B: Sculp­tors Guild – LAST WEEK­END Build­ing 407B: Flan­ders House Build­ing 408A: Paint­ing on the Island Admi­rals House: Pub­lic Art Fund Pho­tog­ra­phy Exhib­it: Andrew Moore and Lisa Kereszi Mess Hall: Arche­o­log­i­cal Dig Behind Liggett Hall: City of Dreams Sculptures/​Mini golf
