About this organization
Mission
For more than 125 years, the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) has worked to educate and inspire New Yorkers to engage in the betterment of our city. Through three core campaign areas, MAS protects New York's legacy spaces, encourages thoughtful planning and urban design, and fosters inclusive neighborhoods across the five boroughs.
About
MAS works on the ground in all five boroughs mobilizing New Yorkers on issues that affect our city from sidewalk to skyline. In FY 2019, our Livable Neighborhoods program trained more than 350 local stakeholders in four neighborhoods to serve as land use advocates for their communities. Our annual Jane's Walk weekend brought more than 5,500 New Yorkers and visitors onto the streets for 275 free neighborhood walks celebrating urban life. And our renowned tour guides offered more than 550 tours exploring the art, architecture, and cultural history of New York's five boroughs. Our signature annual conference, the Summit for New York City, brought together hundreds of New Yorkers to explore present-day concerns about the issues central to our long history of advocacy, from preserving the character of rapidly changing neighborhoods to examining the future of our public realm in the age of the autonomous vehicle. In honor of MAS's 125th anniversary, we hosted a three-month public exhibition at the Center for Architecture looking back at our history of advocacy on behalf of the city of New York.
