FIGMENT offers an alternative to the traditional gallery-based art scene, using interaction and collaboration as tools for wild creativity, and being completely free and open to the public. For information about Dates, Times, and Directions, please visit our Event Page!

Remember to bring anything that you might need for the day.
There are no concessions of any kind at FIGMENT, although there will be food vendors and an art bazaar at the adjacent Cambridge River Festival. The event will have porta-potties/restrooms. Harvard and Central Squares are a few minute walk away if you need any last minute items.

• Drinking water – There will be no free potable water so remember to bring enough for a hot summer day.
• Food, snacks, and anything else you want for a picnic on the riverbank.
• Sun protection – Sunscreen, a floppy hat or parasol, and sunglasses.
• Any necessary medications.
• Costumes – FIGMENT is the perfect time to play make-believe (for both kids & adults!)
• Bicycles – There is a wonderful bike path along Memorial Drive, and we hope to have free bike parking at the event. You may want to consider decorating your bike with streamers, lights, fake fur, or other art.
• Toys – Kites, hula hoops, poi, croquet sets, knitting, water guns, games… anything that you want to play with or invite others to join you in!

Here is a list of things that are PROHIBITED – please do NOT bring them:

• Grills
• Dogs or other pets (unless it is a registered service animal) – the event site will be extremely crowded with many thousands of people arriving throughout the day. Dogs and crowds don’t mix!
• Cars: there is no parking on site and nearby parking garages are both expensive and limited in their capacity.
• Alcohol
• Weapons
• Anything that is not legal to have in public in Cambridge

BRINGING YOUR ART
We invite you to bring your art, performance, or artistic endeavors… and hope that you will take advantage of FIGMENT as a creative outlet for your work. Please note that you cannot bring anything that needs to be staked into the ground, be connected to a power source, plotted on the map, or scheduled for a stage or performance area unless your project is pre-registered with FIGMENT. The submissions deadline for projects was May 1; sign up for our email list for advance notice of next year’s deadline!
