FIGMENT 2010 will be held on June 11-13, 2010, on Governors Island in New York Harbor.

Wow! That was a fantastic season! We need your support to keep all this momentum going. As we don’t accept any corporate money, all of our funds come from grants from foundations and government agencies, and donations from individuals like you. And everything we make happen is created by volunteers. Please support FIGMENT, to help us balance our books for 2009 and start to build for a bigger, brighter, more amazing FIGMENT in 2010!
