NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

The Center for Architecture Foundation (CFAF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting public awareness, understanding and appreciation of architecture, design and the built environment.

It is based at the Center for Architecture in Greenwich Village, New York City’s premier public space for exhibitions, discussion and professional exchange on architecture and design. 

CFAF offers educational programs for K-12 students and teachers through its school-based residency program, Learning By Design:NY, as well as workshops for school groups, youth and family audiences through Programs@theCenter.
