Corporate Memberships
As the city’s premiere advocacy organization for excellence in urban planning, architecture and public spaces, the Municipal Art Society has played a critical role in New York City for over a century. Founded in 1893, the MAS works to protect the best of New York’s built environment — its landmark buildings, monuments, historic districts and public open space — and to encourage visionary design for the city’s future. From our early fight for zoning laws that safeguard the livability of our neighborhoods to today’s advocacy for greater public access to our waterfront, our mission has been nothing less than protecting and enhancing the public good.
New York’s business community provides crucial assistance to the work of the Municipal Art Society through the MAS Corporate Partners Program. The MAS thanks our Corporate Partners and invites others, who share our vision for New York to join us.
