CITY OF DREAMS MINI-GOLF
Last Chance to Design a Golf Hole!
FIGMENT is looking for artists, architects, and sculptors to join our team to create one-of-a-kind mini-golf holes on Governors Island. This is not your typical golf course, but rather the City of Dreams Mini-Golf Course, designed to free mini-golf from the windmill and dinosaur set and allow artists to release their creativity in a forum usually more associated with tourist traps.
Last summer, thousands of people from all over New York and the world got a chance to experience art through mini-golf, and 9 artists or groups of artists were able to showcase their work to a varied audience that might never have made it to a gallery or museum. Because the island is easily reached by public transportation, and both the ferry and mini-golf are free, visitors to the island and the City of Dreams represent a true cross section of New York.
This year's City of Dreams promises to be bigger and better, with the addition of a sculpture garden and even more mini-golf holes (we're hoping to have an 18-hole course this year!). We are looking for artists, architects, professors, students, creatives, carpenters and artists to unleash their creativity and design holes that will wow and inspire visitors to Governors Island.
Go to http://www.FIGMENTnyc.org/minigolf to find out more information and submit your hole design!
Proposals are due March 31!
FIGMENT is a project of Action Arts League, and is produced by a coalition of volunteers in partnership with Pure Project. FIGMENT 2009 is made possible in part with public funds from the Fund for Creative Communities, supported by the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Both funds are administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
