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 a 10 ft by 10 ft space (approximate)

  • Be able to be installed in the heat of July (set up on the Friday before NYC PoFest & taken down on the Monday after)

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

  • Be adaptable to weather conditions

  • Be mindful of the history of violence & colonization on Governors Island (see our Official Land Acknowledgement in the About section for more info)

What We’re Looking For:

We are seeking art installations that transform NYC PoFest into an interactive, poetic realm where visitors don’t just observe—they experience, engage, and co-create. Your installation can be:

  • Sculptural structures

  • Interactive installations

  • Performance art

  • Dance pieces

Bonus Points If Your Installation…

  • Engages with poetry

  • Engages with the landscape of New York

  • Engages with this year’s “modern odyssey” theme

  • Encourages audience participation (think: typewriter poetry stations, communal mural projects, collaborative storytelling)

  • Is ongoing and accessible throughout the festival (not just at specific times)
