The most iconic Landmark in NYC, the Empire State Building, will light up the skyline in our colors, red and white, to salute NYC’s iconic Gala, the Conservancy’s 20th Living Landmarks Celebration, on November 14, 2013.
The New York Landmarks Conservancy honors distinguished New Yorkers from all professions as “Living Landmarks” for their contributions to the City. The New York Landmarks Conservancy is dedicated to celebrating, preserving and protecting the iconic buildings and diverse neighborhoods that define this vibrant and extraordinary City.
The Conservancy is the only private organization that provides both financial and technical support in this effort. Since it was founded 40 years ago, it has loaned and granted more than $40 million to help people save their homes and communities including cultural, religious and social institutions. These grants and loans have in turn mobilized more than $1 billion in more than 1,550 renovation projects throughout New York providing much-needed economic stimulus and supporting local jobs. No other group is engaged in such a hands-on way in sustaining the City’s rich architectural heritage. The Conservancy’s work generates employment, promotes tourism and enhances the quality of life for all New Yorkers.
