FIGMENT is a forum for the creation and display of participatory and interactive art by emerging artists across disciplines. FIGMENT began in July 2007 as a free, one-day participatory arts event on Governors Island in New York Harbor with over 2,600 participants. Since then, FIGMENT has grown significantly each year in number of projects, duration, participants, volunteers, fundraising capability, exhibitions, locations, overall level of commitment and participation, and public support.

FIGMENT Toronto was invited again this year to create an Interactive Art Zone for the wonderful Big on Bloor festival. We set up an area where people could decorate FIGMENT pillowcases that had been screen printed by FIGMENT artist Kingi Carpenter. The activity was popular all day, and sometimes we had lineups! The finished creations will be on display at Bloor and Dufferin until Saturday July 28. Everyone who made one was thrilled to be part of a collaborative public art installation, and they will be picking up their creations at FIGMENT on August 18 and 19.
