A larger-than-life sturgeon-themed boat – a breathtaking tribute to one of the river’s most magnificent creatures.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​‍​​​​​‍​‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌​‌‍​​‍‌‍‌‍​​‍‌‍​​​‌​‍​​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​​​‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​‍​​‌‍​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​​​‍‌‌‍​​‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‍‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌‍​​​‌‍‌‍​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍​‍​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‍​​‌‌‍‌​​​‌‍​‍​​‌​‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​‍​​​​​‍​‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌​‌‍​​‍‌‍‌‍​​‍‌‍​​​‌​‍​​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​​​‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​‍​​‌‍​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​​​‍‌‌‍​​‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‍‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌‍​​​‌‍‌‍​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍​‍​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‍​​‌‌‍‌​​​‌‍​‍​​‌​‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌ \nSuperhero Clubhouse’s Big Green Theater eco-playwriting program uplifts the imaginations of young people at the frontlines of the climate and environmental movement and brings their ideas to life on stage. 2025 is our third year collaborating with teenage students at the New York Harbor School\, a public high school on Governors Island. The focus of this year’s program is the amazing migratory fish of the Mahicantuck (Hudson River). Students are writing scripts with teaching artists Megan Paradis Hanley and Daniella de Jesus\, composing original songs with singer-songwriter Treya Lam\, and making fish puppets out of marine debris with puppeteer Gregory Corbino. Their work will be performed on May 14 at The Arts Center on Governors Island\, and included in Riverkeeper’s Fish Migration Celebration on June 14. \n\nRiverkeeper protects and restores the Hudson River from source to sea and safeguards drinking water supplies\, through advocacy rooted in community partnerships\, science and law. \nCollaborators: Rhiannon Catalyst /

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. Click here to learn more about the closing night event. \n\n\nRhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\, based in New York and Toronto respectively\, have worked collaboratively since 2004. Their work has increasingly incorporated communal aspects of craft\, such as DIY tutorial videos\, and virtual crafting bees. Their video project Crafts Abyss was hosted by the Museum of Arts & Design (NYC\, 2021). Other recent activities include the Odette Sculpture Residency at York University (Toronto\, 2022)\, a major temporary outdoor work for OpenArt (Orebro\, Sweden\, 2022)\, as well as solo exhibitions at Susan Hobbs Gallery (Toronto\, 2023)\, The Arts Center at Governors Island (NYC\, 2023)\, Owens Art Gallery (Sackville\, 2024)\, and the Esker Foundation (Calgary\, 2024). Their work is represented in public collections including the Musee d’art Contemporain de Montreal\, Vancouver Art Gallery\, and the National Gallery of Canada. \nThis project is presented in partnership with Battery Park City Authority.

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.
