BUILD NYC is our new program that offers New Yorkers a way to build together, side-by-side, on the street. This weekend we landed on Doyers St in Chinatown (currently a temporary pedestrian plaza) hosted by our friends at Chinatown Partnership. Thanks to our partners NYC DOT, NYC Department of Design and Construction, LEGO Foundation, Imagination Playground, and Magna-Tiles. BUILD NYC is also supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
Our fall residency in NYC Chinatown continues thanks to the generosity of our individual donors, including Jane Bock and John Chow, Gwendolyn Bock, Paula Bock, Romy and David Cohen, Virginia M. Kee, the Moretti Lee Family, Janet Mui, The Park Fund, and Joycelyn Te. Help us bring BUILD NYC to more neighborhoods across the city—contact Leslie Davol.
