Tour of Gracie Mansion

2018-11-05T00:00:00.000

17:00

17:50

<p>In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York&nbsp;City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home&nbsp;would be serving&nbsp;as the official residence of the First Family of New York City&mdash;a place where history is made, not merely recorded.</p><p>As a historic house museum run by NYC Parks, sitting on&nbsp;11 acres of grounds now known as&nbsp;Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor&nbsp;Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942.&nbsp;Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its&nbsp;doors in the spirit of the administration&#39;s motto: one city, rising together.</p><p>In celebration of our&nbsp;75th Anniversary of Gracie being a mayoral residence, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art&nbsp;installation, titled&nbsp;<em>New York&nbsp;1942</em>. This is the second in a series of installations envisioning New York through the framework of Gracie Mansion as it has been inhabited over time. It includes artwork, documents and objects from the period that the La Guardias lived in Gracie, shown together to tell a more complete story of the overall historic context as perceived from diverse perspectives.</p><p><strong>Tour Reservations</strong></p><p>To RSVP for tour, please visit&nbsp;<a href="http://on.nyc.gov/gracietour">on.nyc.gov/gracietour</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, Gracie Mansion is not offering group tours.&nbsp;If you are part of a private organization that would like to tour the house, please email your request, including the size of group, your name and the purpose of a tour, to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov">gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov</a>&nbsp;and we will work to add you to one of the currently scheduled tours.</p><p>Photo ID required for entrance. No photography permitted in the interior. At the present time, tours are available in English only. Please plan to arrive at least five minutes in advance.</p>

Gracie Mansion Conservancy presents New York 1942. Our newest installation marking the 75th Anniversary of Gracie Mansion as the official mayoral residence.

<p>Come to Fort Tryon Park and try something new.&nbsp;Join us on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings for one hour of walking, stretching, and strengthening exercises.</p><p>All of our fitness programs are free, led by trained professionals, and suitable for all levels. Wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Please check back for rain and weather/air advisory cancels.<br /><br />For a breath of fresh air, take your workouts outdoors.&nbsp; Parks are becoming a logical alternative environment for those who want to add variety to their work outs, or who just don&#39;t like the gym. And, it&#39;s an affordable way to increase physical activity opportunities, because there&#39;s nothing special to build.</p><p>Exercise with a view, in natural sunlight, with green scenery all around bestows health benefits that can&rsquo;t be found indoors. Scientific studies have shown that the pleasure of being outdoors for example gives your brain, psyche, and immune system an extra boost.</p><p><strong>Please note:&nbsp;</strong>Fitness programs are canceled if the weather is lower than 20 degrees and when there are icy conditions.</p>

Join us for one hour of walking, stretching, and strengthening exercises.

Fall Exhibitions Opening

2018-09-08T00:00:00.000

14:00

16:30

<p>Meet the artists and curators of our fall exhibitions. In a new collaboration, Wave Hill is partnering with the&nbsp;American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA) to produce and host ASBA&rsquo;s&nbsp;21st Annual International.</p><p>ASBA&rsquo;s mission is to provide a thriving, interactive community dedicated to perpetuating the tradition and contemporary practice of botanical art. This juried exhibition consists of two-dimensional, original botanical art, including some specimens found at Wave Hill. In the Sunroom Project Space,&nbsp;Ashton Agbomenou&rsquo;s new project stems from his time in Wave Hill&rsquo;s 2018 Winter Workspace. Seeking synchronicity in the African diaspora, Agbomenou constructs visual mementos through his collage-like, layered-painting process, drawing inspiration from Wave Hill&rsquo;s natural resources. Bronx-born, Dominican-American artist&nbsp;Yelaine Rodriguez&nbsp;works on a new series for the Sun Porch. Using photography, video and performance, Rodriguez creates a unique narrative that examines self-identity and draws inspiration from the colors and textures in nature and from her experience of Wave Hill&rsquo;s landscape during the 2018 Winter Workspace program.</p><p>Free with admission to the grounds.</p>

Meet the artists and curators of our fall exhibitions!

<p>Join NYC Parks and the New York City Mayor&#39;s Office of Media and Entertainment for a free film! This movie will be&nbsp;held outdoors.</p><p>In a city inhabited by anthropomorphic animals who have abandoned traditional predator/prey roles in favor of civilized coexistence, uptight rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) is forced to work with charismatic fox con artist Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to crack a major case involving the mysterious disappearance of some carnivorous citizens.
