Description

Figment is an annual two-day showcase of participatory art that invites visitors to play, sing, dance and interact. Highlights include a mini-golf course designed by artists—this year around the theme “New York City Has the Beat”—and a pavilion made entirely of recycled aluminum cans and dredged soil. While the festival takes place during the first weekend in June, the mini-golf course stays up most of the summer.
