Since the 1980s, we have gathered architects, designers and industry professionals together for Common Bond (formerly Heritage Ball), a fundraising gala that attracts hundreds of guests.
The event, while honoring the world-renowned architectural history of New York City, serves as the single largest funding source for the Center for Architecture, allowing the organization and its partner, AIA New York, to advance the value and practice of architecture to promote just and sustainable communities. Besides offering a unique opportunity for professional networking, the event provides critical funding for the Center’s free exhibitions, public talks and lectures, education programs, tours, and grants and scholarships.
From 9pm–12am, we are pleased to host the official After Party for more networking, gourmet bites, drinks, and dancing!
