Image Cour­tesy Shaun Hoke[/caption] We wel­come a wide range of projects to Gov­er­nors Island so we can cre­ate unique expe­ri­ences for our vis­i­tors each sea­son. To help expand the projects on Gov­er­nors Island for the 2013 sea­son and beyond, we have joined forces with Kick­starter! Kick­starter is the world’s largest fund­ing plat­form for cre­ative projects. Cre­ators who use Kick­starter are able to make their ideas real­i­ty, while main­tain­ing com­plete cre­ative con­trol of their work. We are com­mit­ted to host­ing any project that gets fund­ing and ful­fills our per­mit require­ments. For more infor­ma­tion on bring­ing projects to Gov­er­nors Island and to down­load per­mit require­ments, vis­it our web­site. Some of our favorite events were brought to Gov­er­nors Island using Kick­starter. The Face of Lib­er­ty, a repli­ca of the Stat­ue of Liberty’s face, built to scale, sink­ing into the grass at Gov­er­nors Island was fundraised through Kick­starter. The Face of Lib­er­ty was fea­tured on Gov­er­nors Island as part of the Fig­ment Fes­ti­val’s Inter­ac­tive Sculp­ture Gar­den in 2012.

The archi­tec­tur­al pavil­ion will be made from 53,780 recy­cled and re-pur­posed plas­tic bot­tles — the same num­ber that is thrown away in New York City in one hour.
