Event Details

What:

FIGMENT is an explosion of creative energy. It's a free, annual celebration of participatory art and culture where everything is possible. For one day this summer, we will transform The Sylvester Baxter Riverfront Park into a large-scale collaborative artwork - and then it's gone.

When: Saturday, July 19, 2025: 11am to 6pm 

Where: Sylvester Baxter Riverfront Park, Somerville, MA. It's at Assembly Square.

How Much: FREE! FIGMENT is a free, non-profit event, and we do not accept corporate sponsorships.

What to Bring: Whatever you need for a day of fun. Consider: sunscreen, hat, and your imagination!

 

What to Expect:

Art and activities in every medium available… especially the art and activities that YOU bring!

FIGMENT is a free, participatory arts festival that invites people of all ages to play, engage, and make. This event blurs the line between artist and audience, artist and non-artist. Everything that you see at FIGMENT is born from a simple desire to share imagination with each other and the community. FIGMENT welcomes people from all walks of life to bring a creative, interactive project to life.

We invite artists, activists, dreamers, and makers to create artistic experiences that invite members of the public to shift from being a spectator to a participant in art, the urban landscape, and their community. We welcome people engaged in both traditional and non-traditional to bring work that engages a broad, family-friendly audience.

How to Help:

Bring art, sign up to help at the event, sign up for our email list, or donate! Information on all of the above coming soon! 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

LEAVE NO TRACE: We adhere to a "Leave No Trace" ethic, and ask you to do the same. If you bring it with you, either bring it back or make sure it gets into a trash receptacle.

NO TRANSACTIONS: One of our goals is to create a social and creative experience uninterrupted by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. FIGMENT does not sell anything, and does not allow commerce of any kind.
