"FIGMENT is an annual participatory arts event that began on Governors Island in New York Harbor, United States in 2007, and has since spread to a number of other cities. The mission of FIGMENT is to provide a forum for community-based participatory art and experience. FIGMENT strives to build community among artists and participants, to foster the participatory arts in New York City, and to demonstrate a vision for the future of Governors Island as an international arts destination. FIGMENT is a community-based event organized and run by volunteers. The event draws its name from New York's artistic heritage. Andy Warhol once commented that he would like his tombstone to have only one word on it: \u201CFigment.\u201D Warhol never got his wish; he has a traditional grave marker. FIGMENT is based on 11 principles including participation, inclusion, decommodification and leave no trace. Art projects are solicited for FIGMENT through a curatorial process, based on artistic merit, ambitiousness, and interactivity. FIGMENT focuses on art projects that demonstrate an ability to transform their environment and the perception of participants. FIGMENT is produced by Figment Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization registered in New York State. This not-for-profit organization was originally formed as Action Arts League, Inc., in 2006. The Board of Directors decided to rename the organization Figment Project, Inc., in December 2010, and the name change was acknowledged by the New York State Department of State on February 9, 2011. The event is currently supported by individual donations and by grants. FIGMENT does not accept any corporate sponsorships."@en . .
