The New Yorker Passport to the Arts: Saturday, november 7, 2009 // NEW YORK CITY. Brought to you by the New Yorker Promotion DepartmentBack to newyorkeronthetown.com

Welcome to Passport to the Arts, a day filled with visits to premier art galleries in Chelsea and SoHo, followed by a gala cocktail party. Along your tour, you can collect artist-created stamps at each gallery.

The party features a silent auction, where you’ll have the opportunity to bid on more than 40 artworks—with all proceeds benefiting Friends of the High Line, the non-profit group responsible for the acclaimed new elevated park on Manhattan’s West Side.

Passport to the Arts is made possible by the support of our sponsors, who will offer special giveaways and additional opportunities throughout the day and evening. Don’t miss this annual celebration of New York’s vibrant art scene.

Tickets: $45

A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit Friends of the High Line.

The New Yorker Promotion Department will donate all proceeds from the silent auction and a portion of those from ticket sales (less taxes and processing fees) to Friends of the High Line, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and reuse of the High Line—a 1.5-mile elevated railway that runs along the West Side of Manhattan. The first section of the High Line opened as a New York City park in June, 2009, and is maintained by Friends of the High Line in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.
