On April 18, 10:30-7pm, join LMCC at the Arts Center at Governors Island for a day of free, environmentally-focused activities and artmaking honoring Earth Week!
In the morning, the winners of the 2026 NYCHA Resident Climate Action Grants share their community-focused sustainability projects. Then, environmental artist Greg Corbino leads a hands-on, family-friendly puppet-making workshop. In the afternoon, LMCC’s president, Moe Yousuf, will be in conversation with Stony Brook University professor and author Joseph M. Pierce about his new book Speculative Relations: Indigenous Worlding and Repair.
On display throughout the day are exhibits from Stony Brook faculty, LMCC’s Stony Brook University Scholars-in-Residence. Additionally, visitors are also invited to drop in to Open Studios and meet LMCC’s newest cohort of Arts Center Residents, offering a glimpse into the early stages of their time in residence. The day will culminate in a closing reception with food, drink, and live music from the Jazz Loft All Stars.
All events are free and open to the public, and RSVPs are strongly recommended.
LMCC’s Earth Day Celebration is presented in partnership with Stony Brook University and the New York Climate Exchange.
