>>APPLY HERE<<

Festival Details:

September 21st, 2025 on Governor's Island

All activities will take place near Climate Imaginarium hub and Duye Moves residency house, both located in Colonels Row, and in the lawn areas between the houses, on Governors Island in New York harbor.

Realities of Governor's Island:

Governors Island is only accessible by ferry from Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan. We do, however, love Governors Island for their commitment to environmental and climate issues and the created space for environment-focused artists, thinkers, and activists. 

Please consider this reality of transportation in what you're proposing. You will need to be able to transport what you need onto and off of the island without a vehicle. 

Artist Selection and Compensation:

Artists will be selected by a committee of eco artists working in various arts mediums/genres based upon the work and ideas shared in this application. The festival will be curated by the panel to create a balance of diverse offerings, experiences and perspectives for audiences. Selected artists will receive a stipend of $200-$600 based upon the scale and scope of the offering.
