Open House New York Fundraiser
Over the next few weeks, a series of fundraising benefits dedicated to educating the public about New York City’s architecture is being hosted by Private Spaces/Private Access. Openhousenewyork (OHNY) will host five cocktail receptions in an effort to promote awareness about design to all who participate.

$125 for a simple class? there´s how they wanna make people ‘know architecture’? typical nyc situation!
I imagine people spend just as much if not more on concert tickets. I doubt lowering the price would encourage otherwise uninterested people. Maybe if they throw in a laser show, fog machines, and over-priced tee-shirts more people would consider attending.
Ahhhh but there will be cocker tails and horse dovers!! I’ll better get my tux pressed!
…so they say Architecture has become “elite”.
Only about 2% of the population hires an Architect… but 100% could benefit from his knowledge… what is going on???
