Program Opportunities

Gardens

In caring for the High Line’s more than 150,000 plantings, our gardeners use ecologically-sensitive methods as part of our commitment to sustainability.

Art

We bring world-class contemporary art to the public, enlivening the park and sparking dynamic, rich conversations with wide audiences.

Teens

Youth from all over New York City gather for cultural and social events, organized and led by our teen staff members.

Public Engagement

Our hundreds of free public programs invite New Yorkers to connect with neighbors, learn, and enjoy the park. We also offer programs for families.

High Line Network

We’re sharing resources with our peers, and supporting a rising movement to turn under-used infrastructure into vibrant, equitable public space.

Families

The High Line is a place to grow (and not just for plants). Children and adults alike enjoy music, dance, storytelling, and other creative experiences.
