SUMMARY:Outdoor Installation: Maison Millefleurs
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2025 River To River festival\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) is pleased to announce Maison Millefleurs\, an outdoor installation by artist duo Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky on view from August 2 to September 21at Robert F. Wagner Park\, Battery Park City. \nBased on the format of a community garden\, the installation is a jewel box of a greenhouse filled with an overgrown garden of life-sized paper flowers\, each illuminated by programmed LED lights. Inspired by traditional floral still life paintings depicting flowers that bloom in various parts of the world in different seasons\, the installation presents the dream-like coming together of its creators\, who worked on this project at different times and in different spaces\, in the form of a single tangled garden. The flowers of Maison Millefleurs were made by many hands\, including those of the artists and of the public\, during the House of a Thousand Flowers workshop series hosted by LMCC as part of the 2025 River To River Festival. \nMaison Millefleurs builds on the duo’s practice of bringing sculptural still life into being through communal craftmaking. As a sculpture made of ephemeral materials such as paper\, which is dispersed at its conclusion\,  Maison Millefleurs dramatizes the process of its own coming into and out of existence. \n\n\n“Maison Millefleurs sits as an eccentric presence at the edge of Manhattan’s towers. Built by the labour of strangers\, it is a florid dream of something beautiful that is shared\, if only briefly. We are so grateful for the incredible support of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and Battery Park City Authority\, who made such an extended\, community-based project possible ” – Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\n\n\nThe installation will conclude with a Paper Flower Giveaway & Workshop on Saturday\, September 21\, 7-9pm. At this culminating event\, the public will be invited to participate in a paper flower-making workshop and select\, directly from the installation\, an assortment of reusable\, LED-lit handmade flowers to keep\, giving Maison Millefleurs new life as its flowers are dispersed throughout the city.

SUMMARY:Performing Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Works on Water Workshop Series\nSaturday\, September 6 | 1pm & 2pm\nat The Arts Center at Governors Island\, Studio A4 (Upper Level)\nFree Admission | RSVP Required\n \n\n90% of NYC’s water comes from rural communities in the Catskills\, 150 miles north of the City. The relationship between these seemingly disparate places is brokered by land use regulation\, public policy\, and miles of infrastructure—but these connections are practically invisible to NYC residents. Participants will create a “human diagram” of NYC’s water supply system\, forming the connections between reservoirs\, aqueducts and water tunnels with their bodies\, and re-inscribing the connections between upstate and urban communities. Props will be provided; be prepared to make some noise! \nThe workshop is geared towards adults\, but kids ages 10 and up are welcome.  \n\nThe Works on Water 2025 Triennial is a multi-sited exhibition and series of public art interventions made on\, in\, and with urban bodies of water\, created in response to our global climate crisis. Participate in a series of workshops led by Works on Water Triennial artists\, inspired by bodies of water and NYC waterways. The Works on Water 2025 Triennial exhibition will be on view in Upper and Lower Galleries of The Arts Center starting August 28 through October 26\, open Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-6pm. \n\nLize Mogel is an interdisciplinary artist and counter-cartographer. She creates maps and mappings that bring the politics of place to the surface. Her site-specific work reflects the complicated\, human (and sometimes non-human) experience within a place\, and engages people in the myriad potentials of that place. Her current work is focused on water infrastructure and watershed ecosystems; and how natural systems\, environmental policy\, and social inequities intersect.  \nWorks on Water is an experimental organization and triennial exhibition dedicated to artworks\, performances\, conversations\, workshops and site-specific experiences that explore diverse artistic investigation of water in the urban environment. We seek to strengthen and nourish the community of artists working on and with bodies of water and to provide a platform to increase awareness of artists and organizations working on and with the waterways. \nMade possible with support from the Cultural Development Fund\, Invoking the Pause\, exhibiting artists\, and Works on Water’s partner organizations.

SUMMARY:Sunk Shore: Understanding Climate Change\, Embodying Shorelines
DESCRIPTION:Works on Water Workshop Series\nSaturday\, September 27 | 1-3pm\nat The Arts Center at Governors Island\, Studio A4 (Upper Level)\nFree Admission | RSVP Required\n \n\nWhat do you think your shoreline will look like in the year 2100?\nWhat role will climate change play in shaping that future? \nCarolyn Hall and Clarinda Mac Low of Sunk Shore invite you to participate in an interactive workshop where we playfully explore our own specific shorelines and speculate about what that shoreline may look like 75 years from now. In this two hour workshop Hall and Mac Low will lead participants through the Sunk Shore methodology they use to create their shoreline and climate change based artworks which includes: local history\, embodied knowledge of place\, discussing climate change predictions\, participating in fun exercises and imaginings\, and building a group vision based on each person’s expectations\, fears\, and hopes for the future of their shorelines and homes. This workshop is open to participants ages 15 and up. \nSunk Shore is Hall and Mac Low’s approach to making climate change data local\, relatable\, and tangible so together we can plan for a future that we want to see happen. sunkshore.com \nARTIST BIO\nSunk Shore is a multidisciplinary art action and social engagement created by dancer/marine ecologist Carolyn Hall and multidisciplinary artist/microbiologist Clarinda Mac Low. With Sunk Shore we want to help people feel and relate to climate data so that it becomes personal and visceral. Sunk Shore started out as a physical walking tour into the climate changed future that takes place along specific shorelines and has expanded from there.  \n\nThe Works on Water 2025 Triennial is a multi-sited exhibition and series of public art interventions made on\, in\, and with urban bodies of water\, created in response to our global climate crisis. Participate in a series of workshops led by Works on Water Triennial artists\, inspired by bodies of water and NYC waterways. The Works on Water 2025 Triennial exhibition will be on view in Upper and Lower Galleries of The Arts Center starting August 28 through October 26\, open Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-6pm. \n  \n\nWorks on Water is an experimental organization and triennial exhibition dedicated to artworks\, performances\, conversations\, workshops and site-specific experiences that explore diverse artistic investigation of water in the urban environment. We seek to strengthen and nourish the community of artists working on and with bodies of water and to provide a platform to increase awareness of artists and organizations working on and with the waterways. \nMade possible with support from the Cultural Development Fund\, Invoking the Pause\, exhibiting artists\, and Works on Water’s partner organizations.

SUMMARY:Sensorial Fusion: Relationship Art and Architecture
DESCRIPTION:On View November 8 through December\, 2025\nFriday-Sunday\, 12-6pm\nOpening Reception on November 8\, 2-5pm | RSVP Here \nSensorial Fusion: Relationship Art and Architecture explores how contemporary artists from Latin America and the Caribbean engage with architecture as both context and conceptual material. The exhibition reflects on the emotional\, social\, and political intersections of these disciplines\, addressing themes such as urban memory\, gentrification\, and the transformation of cultural identity. Through this cross-disciplinary dialogue\, the show invites audiences to consider how built environments can become vessels of resistance\, imagination\, and civic engagement. \nThis collective exhibition within the New York Latin American Art Triennial 2025 explores the dynamics between human experience and architectural space\, featuring artwork by work by Alejandra Rojas (Peru)\, Alessandro Valerio Zamora (Costa Rica)\, Álvaro Correa (Colombia)\, Antonio José Guzmán & Iva Jankovic (Panama)\, Carlos Llamas (Colombia)\, Cecilia Barreto (Mexico)\, Coco Mártin (Peru)\, Daniel Valladares (Honduras)\, García-Ordóñez (Colombia)\, Juliana Correa (Colombia)\, Natalia Mejía Murillo (Colombia)\, and Sabrina Merayo Nuñez (Argentina). \n\nAbout NYLAAT 2025 \nContemporary art and modern architecture arose from a shared aspiration: the moral and material reconstruction of societies scarred by conflict. Together\, they serve as powerful tools in shaping collective identity\, reinforcing the bond between urban spaces and their inhabitants. By merging artistic expression with architectural form\, NYLAAT 2025 reimagines environments that evoke emotional resonance\, community\, and cultural continuity—transcending mere function and technique. For generations\, artists have documented the shifting contours of cities and domestic life—capturing both the vitality and alienation of urban density. In recent decades\, creative discourse has expanded to address pressing global concerns: climate change\, gentrification\, migration\, and globalization. NYLAAT 2025 invites audiences to engage with these themes through a lens of Latin American innovation\, where art and architecture converge to reimagine the future. \n\nThe New York Latin Amer­i­can Art Tri­en­ni­al (NYLAAT) is ded­i­cat­ed to orga­niz­ing exhi­bi­tions of con­tem­po­rary art and cul­tur­al pro­gram­ming through which it seeks to pro­mote and enrich our Latin Amer­i­can cul­ture. These exhi­bi­tions are intend­ed to pro­vide diverse edu­ca­tion­al pro­grams that allow a place to engage with con­tem­po­rary art expres­sions and inves­ti­gate a deep­er under­stand­ing of its role in soci­ety. NYLAAT believes in the fun­da­men­tal role of edu­ca­tion and advo­ca­cy through art and in the preser­va­tion of the artis­tic and his­toric cul­tur­al lega­cies of the Latin Amer­i­can and Caribbean region. The orga­ni­za­tion seeks to gal­va­nize the cul­tur­al land­scape of these com­mu­ni­ties\, com­ple­ment the aca­d­e­m­ic and visu­al arts pro­grams of par­tic­i­pat­ing gal­leries and insti­tu­tions\, and fos­ter a wider appre­ci­a­tion of con­tem­po­rary art and cul­tur­al understanding. \n

SUMMARY:Creative Climate Action: Harnessing the Power of the Arts | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:While climate impacts and solutions are too often communicated in technical language\, the arts—music\, dance\, film\, painting\, and more—have the unique ability to translate abstract concepts into connection\, awareness\, and action. \nThis panel\, co-hosted by the New York Climate Exchange and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, brings together visionary voices from across disciplines to explore how art and climate science can join forces to deepen engagement and spur action. We’ll hear from artists\, communicators\, and scientists about what’s working\, where the gaps remain\, and what new opportunities lie ahead for cross-sector collaboration. Panelists include Moe Yousuf\, LMCC President & CEO; artist Amanda Lovelee; Anais Reyes\, Deputy Director of the Climate Museum; and Carine Gilbert\, founder of Grounded In Motion. Scroll down to learn more about the panelists and register for the webinar. \n\nPresented in partnership with the New York Climate Exchange\, a nonprofit that unlocks climate solutions by activating a unique partner model and climate campus—coming to Governors Island in 2029. \n\n

SUMMARY:[…/+*^%€£¥$&@!!!!^^^] by Moriah Evans
DESCRIPTION:An in-process showing of […/+*^%<>€£¥$&@!!!!^^^]\, an immersive performance by Moriah Evans that confronts the body as an ambivalent place of political and existential conundrums. Through a sequence of evolving circumstances—internal and external\, individual and collective—the piece asks what it means to give\, take\, receive\, and be taken through a compositional structure. It circulates bodies\, meaning\, and value through repetition and a par corps of changing relationships between the performers and the public. The work unfolds in a manner that prioritizes non-linear thinking and embodied ways of knowing. The showing will feature collaborators Malcolm-x Betts\, Chloë Engel\, João dos Santos Martins\, and Varinia Canto Vila. \n This work-in-progress showing marks the culmination of Evans’ Arts Center Dance Residency. Learn more about the Dance Residency program here. […/+*^%<>€£¥$&@!!!!^^^] will premiere June 5-13\, 2026 at The Chocolate Factory Theater. Learn more about the Chocolate Factory performance here. \nMoriah Evans positions choreography as an expansive social process. Drawing on somatic choreographic practices and feminist critiques of dance and visual culture\, her work expands dance beyond the visible\, to explore different ways of sensing both ourselves and our relationships to one another. Evans develops movement from the unseen interior of the body\, by activating the emotional\, somatic\, and sensory systems to question the default hierarchies between notions of flesh\, body\, self\, and subject. For Evans\, choreography is a social political project that means far more than arranging bodies and movement in space; it is a serious and wide-ranging exploration of ideological beliefs–including feminist\, sociological\, and anthropological considerations. In Evans’ practice\, one work leads to the next\, each project forming a chapter in her ongoing process to inspire transformation–both physically and psychosocially–through action. Evans creates site-specific performances\, theater-based productions\, gallery and museum-based participatory installations\, symposiums\, theoretical texts\, and curatorial projects. \nThis program is supported by Dance/NYC’s Dance Advancement Fund\, made possible by the Howard Gilman Foundation and the Ford Foundation. This project has also been commissioned by and developed\, in part\, during a 2025-2027 Vera List Center Fellowship at The New School. It has been supported by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. This work has been supported in part by the Loghaven Artist Residency\, the Department of Education’s Arts Hub\, and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. \nLMCC’s Dance Residencies are funded with support from Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.
