Second Wave of Modernism at MoMA More Than 55% Sold Out

The daylong conference, to be hosted in partnership with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York this November 18, includes international leaders in landscape architecture, architecture, and planning and is already more than 55% sold out. Attendees from thirty states and seven countries have registered for the conference that will take place at MoMA.

In conjunction with the conference, we are pleased to announce an evening reception at the studio of James Corner Field Operations in celebration of the event. The Field Operations' 10th Floor office provides stunning views of the Hudson River and surrounding skyline and is located only blocks from the newly completed second phase of the High Line. Attendees are invited to gather with conference speakers, TCLF board members, and other participants and enjoy an evening of wine and warm hors d’oeuvres within this intimate setting. Tickets are $125; attendance is strictly limited to 70 guests. Please join us for this capstone event celebrating the best in Modern landscape design.
