Open Call for 2023 OHNY Weekend

Open House New York Weekend is an annual festival that opens hundreds of noteworthy or significant places across the five boroughs for three days of in-person and virtual tours, talks, and special activities. OHNY Weekend is a free celebration of “the power of place,” fostering discovery and delight for all New Yorkers and deepening the public’s understanding of how design can strengthen communities and improve quality of life.

The Open Call invites organizations and individuals willing to open doors across the city to the places that define New York’s past, present, and future.

Submitters are encouraged to share their ideas for partnering on the 2023 OHNY Weekend, whether by offering a tour, talk, exhibition, self-guided walk, virtual experience, or another format.

OHNY will review all submissions and, if selected, invite submitters to register as a Weekend Partner.

Those selected to participate in OHNY Weekend will gain access to OHNY’s diverse audience—tens of thousands of engaged New Yorkers—while promoting access, discovery, and adventure alongside hundreds of other organizations committed to telling the stories of places that shape New York’s past, present, and future.

Please note that the Open Call is for organizations and individuals who have not partnered for OHNY Weekend before. Current and former OHNY Weekend partners should not complete the Open Call form.

If you’ve partnered on OHNY Weekend before, and want to partner again, please fill out this registration form by August 31.
