What should you bring to Art Kibbutz?
We recommend that you bring a blanket to lounge on, sunscreen, maybe a parasol to block the sun, an appetite for food  and cash to remedy it.
 
Want to volunteer?
Yes, apply to be a volunteer here
 
Are there any places to rent a bicycle nearby?
Yes. Bikes, quadracycles and tandems can be rented on Governors Island. Rental rates and details are available on the Governors Island website.
 
Can I ride my bike to Art Kibbutz? Where do I park my bicycle?
Yes. The free public ferries to Governors Island take bicyclists and pedestrians to Governors Island during its public hours. You may park and lock your bike wherever you can find a spot, but Governors Island and Art Kibbutz cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen bikes.  Motorized bikes of any kind are not permitted.
 
Can I bring my own alcohol / cigarettes?
No... and the Governors Island ferry staff will check your bags before you board the ferry.  However, we do have a beer garden where you can purchase beer or champagne for $5 each. In NYC, that’s a steal! It is against the law to smoke them on the festival grounds. Smokers, bring your e-cigarettes along!
 
Can I bring my pet?
No. Sadly, pets are not allowed on Governors Island.
 
Will there be vegetarian/vegan food offered? Kosher? Gluten Free?
All trucks offer vegetarian options. The Palenque Columbian Food Truck offers vegan items. Morris Grilled Cheese has a Gluten-Free option, but for serious Gluten allergies, we would recommend bringing your own food. There are no specifically Kosher menu items, but you can ask the trucks on a case by case basis. For a list of food trucks and links to their websites/menus, click here.
 
Can I bring my own food and water?
Absolutely. Governors Island currently does not have potable water, so no drinking fountains will be available. Water and food are available for purchase, but visitors can bring their own water as well.
 
Will there be flushable toilets and sinks available?

Indoor bathrooms with sinks and flushable toilets are located in Building 110 at Soissons Landing, about a 6 minute walk from Art Kibbutz. There are also trailer bathrooms and port-a-sans located on the Island.
 
Will I be able to find security if needed? Will there be First Aid on site?
There are security and emergency services on Governors Island when it is open to the public. EMTs are available to respond to medical emergencies.
 
Will there be ATMs?
Yes. ATMs are located in Building 110 at Soissons Landing, about a 6 minute walk from Art Kibbutz.
 
Will there be a Lost & Found?
The Trust for Governors Island operates a lost and found. Please call 212-809-3299 if you lost something on-site. However, Art Kibbutz and Governors Island cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen items. Please try to hold onto your things!
 
Will there be cell phone charging in the venue?
Nope. Please make sure your cell phone is charged as much as possible when you arrive.
