NYC PoFest strives to create a poetry wonderland every year on Governors Island. Help us in our mission & propose an immersive installation for the festival! 

NYC PoFest installation proposals must:

  • Align with NYC PoFest's Sustainability Pledge (scroll down in the About section)

  • Follow PSNY's Code of Conduct

  • Fit within (approximately) a 10 ft by 10 ft space

  • Be able to be installed in the heat of July on the Friday before NYC PoFest & taken down on the Monday following NYC PoFest

  • Be budget-friendly (we are an arts non-profit)

  • Be adaptable to weather conditions

  • Be respectful & mindful of the history of violence & colonization on Governors Island (please see our Official Land Acknowledgement for more information - scroll down in the About section) 

They can be:

  • Visual art/sculptural structures

  • Interactive installations

  • Performance art 

  • Dance pieces

Bonus points if they: 

  • Relate to poetry and/or New York

  • Are interactive

  • Are not time-sensitive (i.e. can be interacted with throughout the day, not just at specific times)

For some inspiration, here are installations we've loved in the past:
