Degenerate Art Walk
Washington square Park, 15-61 Washington square N, new york, NY, USThis is a repeat of the walk for those who were unable to attend in July as all slots were filled.
This will be a themed eight mile walk in Manhattan viewing some art and the homes of artists that fled the Nazi regime settling in New York due to their painting of art that was considered Entartete Kunst-degenerate art. If art was Jewish, modern, and not representational or nationalistic-it was Entartete Kunst.
The walk will start in Washington Square Park, going through Union Square, Kips Bay, Eastside Greenway, Central Park, Lincoln Center and ending at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where some of Monuments Men and Women worked.
Bring: water, snacks and lunch or buy lunch at the lunch stop at the Hugh Bldg. Extreme heat or rain cancels. Bring an ID card-necessary for entering one of the restrooms.
Guests: If you plan to bring a guest, please forward them this guest waiver and make sure they sign it before coming to the walk: https://tinyurl.com/28cez6j8

Summer Streets/Manhattan Aug 15 🚸: Brooklyn Bridge to Inwood
Brooklyn Bridge, Park Row & Centre St, New York, NY, USSummer Streets are BACK!
Join us for one of our favorite annual walks as we make our way along car-free Broadway and Park Avenue, continuing north through Manhattan all the way to Inwood.
On the Third Saturday in August, New York City’s usual traffic noise and honking horns give way to walkers, runners, cyclists, performers, fitness classes, art installations, giveaways, and plenty of street activity. It is a wonderful way to experience the city from a completely different perspective.
We will walk approximately 12 miles from the Brooklyn Bridge to Dyckman Street in Inwood. The walk will take about 6 hours and will be point-to-point at a faster pace.
You do not have to walk the entire route. Join us for a few miles or stay for the full walk. There will be many opportunities to leave along the way, with easy access to public transportation.
