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

“I Can Ask”
Chair Fay Christian opened the Operations Advisory Committee on February 12th, reading out member names from a prepared sheet that omitted Melissa Wade. It didn’t feel intentional, but it struck me as odd precisely because it came from something prepared. Lydia Tang gently corrected her, noting that Wade was, in fact, a member of the committee. Wade met the moment with grace, or perhaps she simply wasn’t bothered by it.
