FIGMENT NYC 2019 scenes from the first day in Lighthouse Park on Roosevelt Island…

Wonder Kids set the family friendly theme, inviting kids to touch, feel and create art.

Fair weather and art that invites everyone to join in greeted families, tourists and many first time visitors to the special community in the East River. Here’s some of what it looked like.

FIGMENT NYC 2019 continues for one more day. Other artwork, with a special exhibit in the Motorgate Parking Garage atrium, can be experienced all along Main Street.

Families streamed into Roosevelt Island’s historic Lighthouse Park.

New York’s Freedom of Information Law rests on a basic principle: government records belong to the public unless an agency can identify a lawful reason to withhold them. For Roosevelt Island residents, that right matters because RIOC controls public land, infrastructure, transportation, contracts and development without functioning as a locally elected government.
