2025 Triennial August 28 - October 26

The Works on Water 2025 Triennial is a multi-sited exhibition and series of public art interventions made on, in, and with urban bodies of water, created in response to our global climate crisis. Our third triennial, the 2025 edition is a dynamic invitation to New Yorkers to experience and reimagine the edges of our city through an exhibition, site-specific, participatory, time-based installations, events, conversations, and more. LMCC’s The Art Center on Governors Island will serve as the hub and central exhibition space for Triennial activities. A full schedule of events can be found here.
