On August 31, the nonprofit 4heads will open its annual art fair, Portal: Governors Island (formerly Governors Island Art Fair). The selling fair will feature 89 emerging and mid-career artists, whose work spans the spectrum of artistic genre and media, from painting and drawing to sculptural installations to video and digital works. This year’s edition of the fair will be presented across seven of the historic homes on Colonels Row as well as on the adjacent outdoor lawns. As with prior iterations of the fair, each artist is provided with an individual room, connective space, or exterior plot, allowing artists to leverage the environments to create micro-exhibitions as well as immersive, large-scale installations. Now in its 12th year, the fair heralds the start of the fall visual arts season in New York, offering a spirited atmosphere that invites active engagement
