Free | September 26 | 10:30am – 3:30pm | The Arts Center at Governors Island

On Saturday, September 26, The New York Climate Exchange, LMCC, and hundreds of New Yorkers will gather on Governors Island for Homecoming: For the Harbor to cheer for the New York Harbor! 

Together with artists, musicians, and partner organizations, we’ll wrap up Climate Week NYC 2026 with the full spirit of a Pep Rally—marching bands, cheerleaders, and art-making workshops, plus climate scientists and environmental advocates! Homecoming: For the Harbor invites us to combine climate action with pom-poms—proof that hope is overflowing and the water that connects our cities, our communities, deserves a cheering section! Bring your friends, bring your family, and catch the ferry! 

Homecoming: For The Harbor is the latest public art project in a series designed by Minneapolis-based artist Amanda Lovelee to use the joyful language of pep rallies, parades, and collective celebration to strengthen our relationship with the natural world.

Amanda Lovelee is a civic and environmental artist whose work bridges science, civics, and systems change. She creates large-scale public art projects that use joy to spark dialogue about our shared future. Lovelee collaborates across sectors—including with scientists, planners, and government agencies. Currently a U.S. Cultural Policy Fellow at Stanford University, focused on art and culture in climate change work. She is also co-founder of CAIR Lab, supporting artists in government. Her work has been widely recognized, with support from major foundations and fellowships including McKnight, NEA, and the Mellon Foundation. www.amandalovelee.com
