Explore the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC), a significant landmark housed within part of the original Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Designed by EDG Architecture + Engineering, the SNMVC is a program of PrideLive that honors the site’s historic significance while embracing inclusivity and accessibility for today’s visitors. As the first LGBTQIA+ visitor center within the National Park Service, the SNMVC offers a unique blend of history, architecture, and design. Visitors will join representatives from EDG, including Nathan Green, Richard Unterthiner and others to experience immersive exhibitions, curated art installations, and design elements that reflect the legacy of the Stonewall Riots.

Beyond its architectural significance, the Visitor Center serves as an educational hub. The design masterfully balances references to the space’s history with modern functionality, creating a space that invites reflection on the past and engages with the ongoing fight for LGBTQIA+ equality. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at this incredible project and see how EDG’s design team brought Pride Live’s vision to life, transforming this historic site into a modern, inclusive space that fosters community and dialogue. Visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the collaboration required to shape this important cultural landmark.
