Events

Our season kick-off is also our annual Theater Benefit event, and this year's event will be like no other we've attended: the world premiere of Cirque de Soleil's Zarkana. Staged at the iconic Radio City Music Hall, Zarkana is "an acrobatic rock opera that blends circus arts with the surreal to create a world where physical virtuosity rubs shoulders with the strange."

Join us for our exclusive designer-led sunset tour of the High Line, exploring the newly opened Section 2 and revisiting the highly acclaimed Section 1. Jason Neches of L'Observatoire will guide us.

Combine upscale rental apartments with a hip condo and a hotel that merges SciFi futurism with the luxe of business class airline cabins. Put them on West 42nd Street. Then decide in mid-design to "go green."

It's a festival of lights and what better way to experience it than the DLFNY's annual holiday window display tour?

Amidst the contrasting new and old in the re-emerging Bowery, the Sperone Westwater Gallery at night presents a glowing shaft of light, punctuated by a hovering red form that elevates behind the glazed façade.

Join us for a guided tour of the renovated and expanded Museum of the Moving Image, awash with light that, like the art form it illuminates, is both subtle and dramatic. Enjoy the generous, fluid and engaging spaces by Leeser Architecture and ACH Architecture, and explore the wonderful exhibits, rich with memories.

For our 2012/2013 kick-off (or should we say blast-off?) event, the DLFNY is excited and proud to provide the design community with an opportunity to bring you to one of the few places in the world with an up-close view of a space shuttle.

A spectacular season opener: join us for a private viewing and discussion of James Turrell's phenomenal exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum.
