Dyckman Farmhouse: New York Adventure Club Tour and Reception

New York Adventure Club Tour and Reception
July 8th at 4:30PM
If you were to take a time machine back to 18th-century Manhattan, you would come across lush forests, rolling hills, an abundance of wildlife, and small Dutch family farms scattered throughout the countryside. While most of that rural beauty has vanished thanks to 300 years of industrialization, one lone farmhouse has stood the test of time, still in its original plot on bustling Broadway. It’s time to explore this important piece of New York history after the doors close to the public.
Join New York Adventure Club for an after-hours tour & wine reception at the Dyckman Farmhouse — built in 1784, this Dutch Colonial style farmhouse is the last remaining one of its kind in Manhattan.

Tour y recepción del New York Adventure Club
8 de julio a las 4:30 pm
Si viajaras en una máquina del tiempo al Manhattan del siglo XVIII, te encontrarías con frondosos bosques, colinas ondulantes, abundante vida silvestre y pequeñas granjas de familias holandesas esparcidas por todo el campo. Si bien la mayor parte de esa belleza rural se ha desvanecido gracias a 300 años de industrialización, una granja solitaria ha resistido la prueba del tiempo, aún en su lugar original en la bulliciosa Broadway. Es hora de explorar esta importante pieza de la historia de Nueva York a puerta cerrada.
Únete al New York Adventure Club para un recorrido nocturno y una recepción en el Museo Dyckman Farmhouse, construido en 1784; esta granja de estilo colonial holandés es la última que queda de su tipo en Manhattan.

The Rise: Art in The Heights

The Rise is Art on the Ave NYC’s newest exhibition. It takes place in Washington Heights along Broadway between 169th and 170th as well as along W181st St.

This is an interactive gallery walk that viewers can enjoy from the sidewalk. Art on the Ave NYC transforms vacant storefronts into street-facing mini art galleries for all to enjoy. 26 local artists are featured in this exhibition many from the neighborhood. All the art is for sale with all proceeds going directly to the artists. Artists have recorded audio messages for the public that can be heard via a QR code label at each piece. There is also signage at each location which includes a map of the exhibition and messages from the Washington Heights BID and the curator of the show, Alexis Mendoza.

Exhibition ends August 31st, 2023.

Art on the Ave Gallery walks will be announced shortly but anyone can see the exhibition any time.
