"For the People" – The City Reliquary Museum aims to be a service for the people of New York City – natives, newcomers, and passersby.
"Relics of the City" – Displayed artifacts include the odd and intriguing among many diverse objects which, through their thoughtful arrangement, entice passersby to learn more about the rich history of the area.
"Community Collections" – A changing display features other collectors’ findings. This area gives viewers a glimpse into the interests and often obsessions of fellow New Yorkers. It also emphasizes the importance of the collecting and preserving processes. Diverse displays attract diverse audiences.
"Community Events" – Sidewalk receptions celebrate new displays and offer people of the neighborhood a chance to know one another better. Larger events are organized at local venues with themes that correspond to the City Reliquary mission. A lack of commercial sponsorship and intimidating organizations provide an environment of optimism fueled by the goodwill of the participants.
November 18, 2007 – WILLIAMSBURGH, Brooklyn – The 2nd Annual City Reliquary Benefit Gala will feature a talk by Lawrence Weschler, author of Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder and Director of the New York Institute for the Humanities at New York University.
The Reliquary’s most important fundraiser of the year, the event – to be held Monday, December 10th 2007 from 7:00-9:00 PM at the Automotive High School Auditorium, located in McCarren Park, Williamsburgh, Brooklyn – will also include a Brooklyn Dodgers presentation by Paul Lukas, ESPN.com Uni-watch columnist, and author of Inconspicuous Consumption. JL Aronson (producer/director of Danielson: A Family Movie) will screen excerpts from the unreleased film Up on the Roof, a documentary about the rooftop pigeon keepers of Williamsburgh's Southside. Los Bomberos de Brooklyn, a multi-generational Puerto Rican bomba, rhythm and dance group from Williamsburgh's Southside will provide musical entertainment.
Following the presentations, a very special dinner for the Reliquary’s supporters will be held at Bamonte's, Williamsburgh's most historic Italian restaurant, from 9:00-11:00pm.

New York Lost is a documentary about the loss of what makes New York, New York. Developers are destroying it's unique stores, ethnic neighborhoods, and character while replacing it with chain stores that all look alike and glass condos. At risk is the exciting and diverse community that brings so many to New York, and what makes New York the world center of art, communications, finance and fashion. Is New York turning into a gated community and giant shopping mall? Is it fair to ask whether all of this change is a good thing? Will developers kill the goose that laid the golden egg? Is the spirit of neighborliness dead? I interviewed several New Yorkers from the founder of the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa to an old time Fulton Fish Market docker worker. I think you will be fascinated with what they have to say.

“Freedom to learn is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self-reliant enough to be free. Such things did not need as much emphasis a generation ago, but when the clock of civilization can be turned back by burning libraries, by exiling scientists, artists, musicians, writers and teachers; by disbursing universities, and by censoring news and literature and art; an added burden, an added burden is placed on those countries where the courts of free thought and free learning still burn bright. If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn low in other lands they must be made brighter in our own.”
