Fall Arts Week on Governors Island 2021

A diverse collaborative of arts and cultural organizations that call Governors Island home present this joint roster of exhibitions, open studios, events and activities spanning several days in September as a part of the inaugural Fall Arts Week on Governors Island.

Works from more than 50 different artists will be on display, concentrated in the historic houses of Nolan Park and Colonels Row. Visitors will be able to move from house to house and interact directly both art and artists, drawing from a compelling mix of visual art pieces, new media, soundscapes, sculpture, conceptual art, outsider art and more—a collection unlike any in New York City, in a totally unique setting.

This profoundly interdisciplinary selection of works explores themes of identity, memory, family, gender equity, colonialism, environmental interactions and crises, the U.S. prison system, the intersection of arts and technology, double-consciousness and more. Participating organizations will also hold free community building activities, performances, meet-the-artist events and workshops throughout the week.
