TRANSCRIPT
HIGH LINE The High Line is an elevated freight rail line transformed into a public park on Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line.
Founded in 1999 by community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line’s preservation and transformation at a time when the historic structure was under the threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line seeks to protect the entire historic structure, transforming an essential piece of New York’s industrial past and inspiring new ways of thinking about the city, parks, public space, preservation, and community. Friends of the High Line provides virtually all of the High Line’s annual operating budget and is responsible for the maintenance of the park, pursuant to a license agreement with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Through excellence in operations, stewardship, innovative programming, and world-class design, Friends of the High Line seeks to engage the vibrant and diverse community on and around the High Line.
HIGH LINE MEMBERSHIP Members help provide more than 90% of the High Line’s operating support each year. Friends of the High Line depends on members to hire staff who keep the park clean, tend the plantings, and create programs and artwork to engage visitors. Members receive the biannual High Line Magazine, invitations to special events, discounts at local stores, and other benefits. Visit www.thehighline.org to learn more.
HIGH LINE ART Friends of the High Line commissions site-specific artworks for the park, offering a platform for visual, performance, and sound art by emerging and established artists. Visit art.thehighline.org to learn more.
HIGH LINE FOOD The High Line features food kiosks in the spring, summer, and fall, offering seasonal, family-friendly meals and snacks, as well as an open-air café at The Porch, serving casual meals, beer, and wine.
HIGH LINE PROGRAMS Through its free tours, workshops, field trips, and festivals, Friends of the High Line offers opportunities for families, teens, and adults to explore contemporary arts, horticulture, and urban preservation, creating innovative experiences that highlight the distinctiveness of the park.
