Explore Governors Is. without leaving home
BY EMILY
DAVENPORT
A new digital hub
is allowing New
Yorkers to experience
Governors Island
programming while still
at home.
The Trust for Governors
Island has launched
Governors Island at
Home, a new content
hub for digital media, resources
and virtual programs
that allow visitors
to engage with everything
the Island has to
offer from anywhere they
can access the internet.
“With Governors Island
at Home, we’re delivering
a much-needed
connection to the beauty
of the park in springtime
and our diverse
programs, right into the
homes of New Yorkers,”
said Clare Newman,
President and CEO of
PHOTO BY JULIENNE SCHAER
the Trust for Governors
Island. “We’re excited to
launch this new resource
and expand the Governors
Island experience
with the ability to appreciate
everything it has to
offer remotely.”
Those who sign on
to Governors Island at
Home can connect with
the Island’s 120 acres
of open space through
frequent updates on
spring blooms in the park
through blog posts, poetry
readings from last fall
in Shantell Martin’s The
May Room presented by
Poetry Society of America,
highlights on the resident
artists of LMCC’s
Arts Center at Governors
Island, blog posts on the
Island’s history, and a
virtual historic photo
walking tour on Urban
Archive. Visitors can
also explore the history
of the island’s landscape
through Jane’s Walk to
Urban Archive.
Visitors can also access
a number of educational
resources through the
Trust’s partners, including
the Billion Oyster
Project’s STEM-focused
Remote Learning Resources,
MoCADA Digital
and their Resources
for Kids, GrowNYC’s
Virtual Teaching Garden,
New Art Dealers Alliance
member galleries on Artnet,
and NYC Audubon’s
Digital Resources and
Activities as well as a series
of birding videos by
their volunteer wildlife
monitor, Cathy Weiner.
The resources at Governors
Island at Home
will remain active after
the island opens, which
has been delayed due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
