These open house events are free and welcoming\, informal\, and accessible to all ages. Artist activations will take place throughout the day — scroll down for the full lineup of events. \nAt 4pm\, Arts Center Dance Resident Anh Vo will share a work-in-progress showing of his latest work A sign\, a signal\, a delivery\, a deliverance.  The piece will premiere at Danspace Project in October. \nFree and Open to All Ages | September 26 begins at 12pm | RSVP and let us know you’re attending! \nOpen Studios is part of a full weekend of Climate Week programs at The Arts Center at Governors Island!

Using a climate emotions wheel\, colored notecards\, and string\, you’ll add your feelings to a growing collective map—creating a living portrait of our shared climate experience. No art experience necessary. Just bring your feelings and see where they land.\n \nGarrett Allen\, temperature theater 01\ntemperature theater 01 is a performance experiment in heat\, pressure\, duration\, and cause and effect. A temperature becomes a psychophysical agent\, an environment\, a condition. The work considers the body as a site of climate\, coping\, and consequence. How do we experience change? How does how we handle change change what we experience? \nTanika Williams\, Black Ecologies v. 2: The Field Trip\nBlack Ecologies v. 2: The Field Trip: dream\, design\, and build speculative climate futures with Black Interactive. This day-long event features guided meditation and design-build workshops\, including collaging\, zine-making\, AR animation\, and architectural modeling\n \nSari Nordman\, Anxiety Boutique Activation Dance\nThis activation invites viewers to imagine climate extremes and learn more about the story behind the Anxiety Boutique. \nLisa Ann Schonberg\, The Insects are Present\nA work-in-progress listening experience based on Lisa’s sonic research on the rich compost habitats at Earth Matter on Governor’s Island\, of pollinators at the Lavender Field\, and of ants making their homes under walkways. The Insects are Present is a public installation of a modular\, generative composition system of recording\, processing and playback that prompts interactions between real-time environmental sounds\, human messages\, and Schonberg’s percussion\, with a focus on hidden soundscapes of insects and other invertebrates.\n \nRachel Garber Cole\, My Family Photos\nPlease come and use my family photos to tell me stories from your own life. It will be fun and you can voyeur into someone else’s life while I try and voyeur into yours! The workshop is part of project development for my residency project My Family Photos\, which explores 20th century narratives of time and progress against a 21st century backdrop of the climate crisis.\n \nLMCC’s 2026 Arts Center Residents are Garrett Allen\, Rachel Garber Cole\, Nicole Cooper\, RedMoon Arts Movement Inc\, Duy Hoàng\, Derek Lee McPhatter\, Tijay Mohammed\, Sari Nordman\, Sabrina Merayo Nuñez\, Phoebus Osborne\, Marie Lloyd Paspe\, Gabriela Salazar\, Lisa Ann Schonberg\, Sara Stern\, Nora Treatbaby\, Tanika I. Williams\, Darla Migan (Stony Brook University) Nobuho Nagasawa (Stony Brook University)\, Seaweed City\, (Organization-in-Residence)\, and Noga Cohen (On-Site Assistant). \nLearn more about the residency here. \n\nAbout Anh Vo Work-in-Progress Performance \nA sign\, a signal\, a delivery\, a deliverance brings Ca Trù\, a rare northern Vietnamese chamber music tradition\, into dialogue with possession rituals. Drawing from Ca Trù’s austere\, trance-like soundscape and its precise rhythmic structures\, the project explores quieter states of losing oneself. Here\, possession emerges through discipline and devotion rather than abandon and catharsis\, where control itself becomes the condition for being overtaken. The piece will premiere at Danspace Project in October\, 2026. \nAnh Vo \nBased in Brooklyn and Hanoi\, Anh Vo is a Vietnamese choreographer and writer working in the expanded field of performance. Their practice mobilizes the naked body in its variations to make explicit the entanglement of power and apparitional forces that cut across flesh. Their work emerges from the unlikely lineage convergences between Downtown New York experimental performance\, Hanoi performance art\, and Vietnamese folk ritual practices. \n\nPhoto by Rachel Keane
