Shore Time

September 26 – 29, 2024
Fogo Island Arts

Presented by Fogo Island Arts, Shore Time is an international gathering celebrating the intersections of art, design, economy, ecology, and foodways.

Join us on Fogo Island from September 26 to 29 for artist talks, food circles, architecture and design walks, studio visits, foraging, and more. Together we will explore the importance of place, our role in community economies, and the pivotal part of artists in imagining a sustainable future.

Invited speakers include artists Sharon Lockhart, Laura Owens, and Danh Vo, architect Indy Johar, and art critic Tom McDonough, as well as Fogo Island Arts’ artists-in-residence Ghazaleh Avarzamani, Ethan Murphy, L. Sasha Gora, and Wong Winsome Dumalagan.

Over 15 local artists, designers and makers will open their studios, galleries and installations to the public. Visitors can tour Nelson White’s exhibition, Wutanminu – Our Community, at the Fogo Island Gallery and meet the artist. Outdoor excursions include hikes to Liam Gillick’s artwork and functioning weather station A Variability Quantifier (2022), and Design and Architecture walks connecting past to present through the built environment.

Foodways also play an essential role in gathering at Shore Time – each evening supper has been designed to reflect the interconnectedness of food with Fogo Island’s histories, ecologies, economies, and cultural worlds.

In coming together on an island off an island in the North Atlantic, we hope to foster a shared sense of belonging.

Most events are free. Please register online to reserve your seat.

Shore Time is organized by Fogo Island Arts, a founding program of Shorefast, a registered Canadian charity dedicated to unleashing the power of place so local communities can thrive in the global economy. Established in 2008 as an international artist residency program, Fogo Island Arts is dedicated to the belief that artists are visionaries with a unique capacity to reveal and respond to the complexities of our time.

Our residencies enable artists, curators, and writers to think, create, and connect, promoting discovery across perspectives and disciplines. The geographic specificity of Fogo Island is a foundational platform for engagement around issues of sustainability, ecology, economy, and belonging. Over the last 15 years, Fogo Island Arts has grown into an international program of exhibitions, public programs, publications, and research projects that aim to explore art and ideas that bridge connections between the local and the global.
