New York | VIP Preview at 4Heads Artists-in-Residence Portal Art Fair on Governors Island
July 29, 2022 | 4:00 pm
Join us on Governors Island for VIP Preview of the Portal Art Fair, including a discussion with the Founders of 4Heads Artist-in-Residence and an opportunity to meet with the artists in their studios! Light refreshments will be provided. Please note that there are two time slots for this program beginning at 4:15 PM or 6:15 PM.
This is the 15th Anniversary of the 4Heads Organization on Governors Island. The founders will share their experience in starting this non-profit arts organization, how they grew and expanded over the years, artist success stories, and how they adapted and adjusted due to the pandemic.
The current 8 Artists-in-Residence will give insight into their experiences and installations, giving individual talks and a VIP preview before the public exhibition taking place from August 5-7. Each artist was assigned a different area of the house and allowed the freedom to transform the space.
Governors Island Art Fair (now called Portal: GI) was first launched in 2008, and was one of the very first major art events to take place on Governors Island. As interest in the Island as a cultural destination has grown, in particular over the last several years, 4heads has remained steadfast in maintaining its presence, continuing to provide working artists with a place to show new and recent work and to build their network of support – both among peers and the public.
Governor’s Island is open late on Friday and Saturday nights, with the last ferry to Manhattan departing at 10 PM. Guests are welcome to stay on the island, watch the sunset, and enjoy a drink.
Admission:
- ArtTable Members – $10
- Member Guests/Non-Members – $20
Please note that your ferry to Governors Island is not included with your ticket. Attendees are responsible for getting themselves to and from the program.
