The New York Landmarks Conservancy’s 15th annual Sacred Sites Open House will take place on May 17 & 18 inviting visitors to explore the extraordinary architecture, art and history of diverse houses of worship throughout New York State.” Participating sites will showcase their buildings, histories and community programs through guided tours, lectures and musical performances. Sacred Sites Open House is a free, state-wide event giving visitors an opportunity to discover remarkable architecture and art as a “tourist in your own town.”
This year’s theme, “Building for Eternity: Religious Architecture and Artisans,” highlights the incredible work of artisans and world-class art and architecture found at religious institutions across New York State.
“Open House Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to explore buildings you might not have entered otherwise,” says Peg Breen, President of the New York Landmarks Conservancy. “We hope you will enjoy discovering the architectural treasures in your own community.”
