Public Arts Festival<\/a> returns Saturday, October 3, 2026, transforming NYC\u2019s first airport into an immersive celebration of art, community, and the landscape of Jamaica Bay. The Festival features 15 new works, projection-mapped to the 8,640-square-foot fa\u00e7ade of two monumental airplane hangars. Renowned artists, including Derrick Adams, Randy Polumbo, Wills Glasspiegel, LaJun\u00e9 McMillian, and Ryan Hartley Smith, will bring their talents to this historic site.<\/p>\n<p>Rooted in themes of water, nature and innovation, the artworks will explore Floyd Bennett Field\u2019s deep connection to the waterfront, a defining element of the site\u2019s prominence in Jamaica Bay and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean \u2013 a stretch of New York City coastline where imagination and innovation have always converged.<\/p>\n<p>The center of this artistic celebration is Floyd Bennett Field\u2019s historic airplane hangars, which are currently being revitalized for new uses and future generations. For one night, their art-deco fa\u00e7ades are brought to life through light, movement, and digital storytelling. The result is a dynamic interplay between past and present \u2014 historic buildings being transformed, reimagined, and seen in an entirely new light.<\/p>\n<p>As one of NYC\u2019s largest outdoor projection-mapped art events, the Festival draws a diverse audience from NYC and the region to enjoy a night of unparalleled art, live music and the natural beauty of the park. Floyd Bennett Field! Public Arts Festival is free and open to all.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4yUDj4h?ref=hyperallergic.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">jbrpc.org\/arts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Announcement Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy gathers 21 artists for the second biennial Floyd Bennett Field!
