Today's Figment NYC public participatory art event at Lighthouse Park and other locations around Roosevelt Island was a great success. Worries after the Cherry Blossom Festival overcrowding disaster about Roosevelt Island being overwhelmed by visitors did not happen. Instead, Roosevelt Island residents and visitors enjoyed a beautiful day with the more than 1 hundred art installations.

UPDATE 6/2 - More Fignment NYC from Roosevelt Island last night:
and today the Figment NYC Land Boat took a final trip around Lighthouse Park to the tune of I'm A Native New Yorker.
The final event of 2019 Figment NYC at Roosevelt Island's Lighthouse Park was performance of the Monkey King which was developed at Main Street Theatre & Dance Alliance.
Unfortunately, the Monkey King performance was shortened due to a late afternoon thunderstorm.
Great job to everyone, as a resident I was able to go about my weekend and get off and on the island easily. Much appreciated for the response and resolution to make sure this event was fun and not disruptive to life on Roosevelt Island.— Candia (@Candia38875621) June 2, 2019
