Please support the 2023 Open City Benefit
The Open City Benefit is a celebration of the power of place and new possibilities for our city.
On May 18, the Open City Benefit will bring together hundreds of New Yorkers for a festive evening at Powerhouse Arts—a 117-year-old power plant that has been transformed into a contemporary art center and fabrication space on the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.
Proceeds from the Open City Benefit make possible our work to promote broad, unparalleled access to the city.
Powerhouse Arts
322 3rd Ave

Tickets at the Friend level ($800) will be available for purchase starting April 6.
Please contact Alison Pirie at benefit@ohny.org with any questions or for more information.
