About Governors Island Arts
Governors Island Arts, the public arts and cultural program presented by the Trust for Governors Island, creates transformative encounters with art for all New Yorkers, inviting artists and researchers to engage with the issues of our time in the context of the Island’s layered histories, environments, and architecture. Governors Island Arts achieves this mission through temporary and long-term public art installations and exhibitions, an annual Organizations in Residence program in the Island’s historic houses, and the curated multidisciplinary INTERVENTIONS performance series.

About The Billion Oyster Project
Billion Oyster Project is a nonprofit restoring New York Harbor’s oyster reefs and rebuilding the conditions that once made it one of the most productive ecosystems in the world. To date, the organization has restored more than 150 million oysters across nearly 18 acres of reef, recycling over 3 million pounds of shell from New York City restaurants. Billion Oyster Project connects restoration with education—engaging students, teachers, and communities across the city. By putting people at the center of the work, the organization is helping New York rediscover itself as a water city. Learn more www.billionoysterproject.org.
The Oyster is supported in part by the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation, the Lambent Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
