LMCC invites the public to explore the creative processes of the 2026 Cohort of Arts Center Residents, experience live activations, and attend a free climate-art workshop.

Five-time Grammy Winner esperanza spalding in collaboration with dancer, theater, and filmmaker Kayla Farrish, presents a first public sharing of their creative collaboration – crafted live, in real time.  

The Arts Center at Governors Island invites people of all ages to engage directly with artists and the ideas shaping our world – experience exhibitions, performances, open studios, and family-friendly, hands-on art-making workshops with artists from New York and around the world.
