		<title>Upcoming FIGMENT Events</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone! We hope you're enjoying your post-FIGMENT summer! Even though FIGMENT 2011 is eleven months away, there are still a number of FIGMENT-related events going on! For starters, our summer-long installations on Governors Island—the FIGMENT Sculpture Garden, Minigolf Course, and the Living Pavilion—are open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday through October 3. So come out to the island and have another look, and please consider volunteering to help at the minigolf course!]]></description>
