There really is no more beautiful space in New Yor

There really is no more beautiful space in New York City than under the illuminated Gothic Arch after Green-Wood’s gates close for the evening. And THIS FRIDAY, MAY 27th, we’ve got the perfect opportunity for you to take in this view while sipping on spirits and listening to live music: HOT DOGS, HOOCH, & HANDEL. The evening will start off with jazz at sunset by the #grandstreetstompers and lead into selections from Handel. Presented in partnership with @deathofclassical to kick off the 2002 season of The Angel’s Share. Get your tickets via link in bio. #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

BRAVO to the graduates! What a special day celebra

BRAVO to the graduates! What a special day celebrating the hard work of the 2022 cohort of graduates of the Bridge to Craft Careers program. After ten weeks under the tutelage of Green-Wood’s incredible restoration and preservation team, and in collaboration with our colleagues at @obtjobs @worldmonumentsfund and the International Masonry Institute, the 12 graduates are now prepared to enter the workforce with advanced skills and enviable experience. Or, they might continue their studies to pursue a deeper knowledge of the science of conservation! These are ones to watch, that’s for sure. Congratulations, all! 📸 1️⃣ The graduates in front of the mausoleum they restored 2️⃣ Neela Wickremesinghe, Director of Restoration, speaking to friends and family 3️⃣ From left to right: Green-Wood President Richard Moylan; Arlene Ortiz from @obtjobs, Neela, Michael Salazar from @obtjobs, Dr. Darlene Williams from @obtjobs, and Green-Wood’s Vice President of Programming and Development Lisa Alpert #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery #historicpreservationmonth #restoration #preservation

Worsdale. Join us THIS MONDAY, May 30th, at 2:30pm. Register at the link in our bio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Bring a picnic, your friends and family, and sit back as we enjoy a repertoire of musical selections to commemorate those who served in the armed forces throughout our nation’s history; music by some of Green-Wood’s permanent residents, including James Weldon Johnson, Fred Ebb, and Leonard Bernstein; and a diverse range of contemporary composers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀*FREE to all but advance registration via link in bio is recommended. Please consider making a donation to Green-Wood so we can keep this concert free for years to come! #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery #memorialday #livemusic #brooklyn #nyc
