Tour of Gracie Mansion

2018-10-01T00:00:00.000

10:00

10:50

<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.

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.

Tour of Gracie Mansion

2017-06-06T00:00:00.000

10:00

10:50

<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>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>

18:00

<p>The annual&nbsp;<a href="http://socratessculpturepark.org/exhibition/eaf14/">Emerging Artist Fellowship (EAF) Exhibition</a>&nbsp;is a cornerstone of Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s visual arts programming and is widely acclaimed for the ambition, breadth, and innovation of the works on view. Featuring fifteen artists,&nbsp;<em>EAF14</em>&nbsp;is a survey of the compelling and diverse state of sculpture today.</p><p>Each&nbsp;<em>EAF14</em>&nbsp;artist has engaged with the larger narrative of public space in a dynamic and daring way, building upon Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s goal to present socially aware, inspiring art in the public realm.&nbsp;<em>EAF14</em>&nbsp;artists were selected through a highly&nbsp;competitive process that attracted a broad field of nearly 300 candidates, reviewed by the park&rsquo;s curatorial advisors Anne Barlow&nbsp;(Executive Director, Art in General) and&nbsp;Joe Sheftel&nbsp;(Joe Sheftel Gallery, New York). Selected&nbsp;<em>EAF14</em>&nbsp;artists were awarded a 2014 Emerging Artist Fellowship, including 24/7 access to the park&rsquo;s outdoor studio and facilities, as well as the financial, technical, and curatorial support to realize his or her most ambitious work possible.</p><p>Image credit:&nbsp;Jordan Griska. <em>Dolos</em>. 2014 Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition, Socrates Sculpture Park (Queens, 2014).
