Each year from May – OctoÂber, more than two dozen arts and culÂturÂal orgaÂniÂzaÂtions use space inside the hisÂtoric housÂes on GovÂerÂnors Island through GovÂerÂnors Island Arts’ OrgaÂniÂzaÂtions in ResÂiÂdence proÂgram, offerÂing free exhiÂbiÂtions and pubÂlic proÂgrams and hostÂing artist resÂiÂdenÂcies. Over the next decade, New York City and the Trust for GovÂerÂnors Island plan to expand this seaÂsonÂal proÂgram into year-round perÂmaÂnent homes for culÂturÂal orgaÂniÂzaÂtions in these spaces.
