Featuring Gin Minsky

We’re thrilled to announce that Gin Minsky, acclaimed tap dancer and burlesque performer, will perform at the 2018 After Dark Party.

With a ’20s and ’30’s aesthetic, Gin Minsky’s performances celebrate the creativity and historical narrative of New York City. Gin Minsky regularly uses Manhattan’s Garment District—which MAS has long fought to preserve—and supports local businesses for her costume ideation and creation.

Shake Shack Fries, Donuts, and more

Fries have never looked so good! In recognition of Audrey & Danny Meyer’s receiving of the 2018 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Medal, we’re excited to announce that Shake Shack will be serving fries throughout the evening. Additional snacks will be provided by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, including donuts and lollipops.

Bay Room at 28 Liberty Street, a new event space built from the ground up

Bay Room is Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group’s first-ever dedicated event space, located on the 60th floor of this skyscraper in lower Manhattan, with 360-degree exposures offering stunning views of the city.

Formerly known as One Chase Manhattan Plaza, it was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, one of the leading architectural firms working in the International Style at that time and completed in 1961.

The building was designated a New York City landmark in 2008.

About the 125th Anniversary and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Medal

For 125 years, the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) has worked to educate and inspire New Yorkers to engage in the betterment of our city. Created in 1893 by Richard Morris Hunt and a circle of civic-minded activists, MAS was founded with a mission to beautify the city through public art. Throughout its first century, MAS grew into the larger role of bringing the voice of the public into the planning, preservation, and policy debates that impact the lives of New Yorkers. Today, our work reflects a deep commitment to the process of community-based planning.

The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (JKO) Medal is awarded annually to individuals and organizations that have made an extraordinary impact on the quality of New York’s built environment. The award was established in 1994 to honor Mrs. Kennedy Onassis and her passionate efforts to preserve great architecture in New York City.
