This we’re featuring one of our most unique JavitsCares donations yet – a breathtaking 15-foot, 1,100-pound crystal chandelier donated by Bluebird Lighting. Designed by Baskervill and manufactured by Bluebird Lighting, the chandelier features a one-of-a-kind art overlay at its inner center, created by Kevin Barry Art Advisor, and is elegantly draped with crystals along its outer ring. Valued at $18,000, this extraordinary piece was originally displayed at Boutique Design New York and will soon light up the iconic House of Yes music venue in Brooklyn, thanks to coordination with Materials for the Arts.

Since 2018, our JavitsCares program has successfully diverted tens of thousands of leftover materials from exhibits, such as furniture and household items, to local non-profit organizations. Materials for the Arts plays an instrumental role in finding recipients for these materials to keep them out of the landfill and put them into the hands of arts professionals, educators, and students across the five boroughs. In addition to these donations, Javits Center employees participate in volunteer events with Materials for the Arts to provide hands-on assistance to our community. Head to https://www.materialsforthearts.org/volunteer/ to learn more about how you can volunteer with Materials for the Arts.

Yesterday was our Years of Service luncheon for Javits employees celebrating their work anniversaries for their 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th years. Of the 53 employees celebrating, over half were celebrating their 20th anniversary or higher – a testament to the positive environment and investment Javits makes in our staff. We are proud to not only be fulfilling our mission to bring job opportunities to New York but to be a place where people can build a career.

Congratulations to those celebrating!

The Crystal Palace creates a grand entrance for every event that takes place at Javits Center! The soaring 15-story structure is made of steel and glass - creating a welcoming and bright first impression for guests and giving people walking by the opportunity to see what’s happening at the busiest convention center in the United States.

Fun fact: all 6,000 panels of glass in the Crystal Palace are made of bird-friendly glass, which has reduced bird collisions at Javits by more than 90%

Javits is more than just a convention center! We are also a wildlife sanctuary due to the incredible rooftop habitats, including our 6.75-acre green roof, our one-acre rooftop farm and nine beehives.

Our green roof is home to hundreds of herring gull nests in season. NYC Bird Alliance monitors the herring gull population to gather data on migration patterns. NYC Bird Alliance has also spotted 70 different species and all five species of bats native to New York on our rooftop!

Farmers from Brooklyn Grange maintain the multiple pollinator gardens on our one-acre rooftop farm. These gardens are essential to native pollinators in the urban landscape of NYC!

Our nine beehives each house up to 80,000 bees per hive! Astor Apiaries monitor the health of the hive and leads responsible honey harvests, which is used in our in-house catering. Fun Fact: September is National Honey Month!
