FIGMENT, Encouraging & Enhancing the Creation & Display of Art

Discarded

FIGMENT is a series of interactive events that encourage and enhance the creation and display of art. FIGMENT events are planned for Jackson, MS (May 14-15), Boston (June 4-5), New York City (June 10-12) and Detroit (August 6).

FIGMENT provides an open forum for every type of artist, helps build a creative community, and fosters participatory and public art and creative culture of every sort.

FIGMENT demonstrates what the arts can be: participatory, bursting with creativity and completely free, born from the desire to share imagination and invention between artists and the public.
