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—and I’m sharing an opportunity to partner for this festival, which ranks among the largest design festivals in the nation.

This year, Open House New York is inviting new partners to submit for their Open Call. Individuals and organizations are invited 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. Opportunities to get involved in OHNY Weekend include hosting an in-person tour or offering a virtual program that shares your work with a broad public audience.

For more information about partnering, check out the Weekend FAQs and/or attend one of OHNY’s virtual information sessions.

Taking place October 21-23, Open House New York 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.

We hope you consider this opportunity to open your doors for broad public access by submitting to the Open Call! The deadline for submissions is July 14. Contact OHNY Program Director Chuck Hovanic: chuck@ohny.org,  should you have any questions.
