The Livingportrait ofNYC

Citizens extends our warmest thanks to everyone who visited and contributed to The Living Portrait of NYC, a unique immersive experience exploring what makes New York, New York. This ode to the citizens of the greatest city in the world allowed thousands of people from every borough, every neighborhood, and every walk of life to share real and unfiltered stories—all stitched together through stunning images, sound, music, film, and live performances. While the experience has closed, we at Citizens are looking forward to continuing to build our relationships with New Yorkers.
