  • The St. Mark's Day Annual Lecture — Now an annual spring event drawing 80-100 people, the Landmark Fund’s Lecture Series launched in 2005.  This series brings distinguished scholars, authors, historians and urbanists to the St. Mark’s campus for lectures and panel discussions that are reflective of the Landmark Fund’s commitment to community preservation and to educating the public on the cultural history of the St. Mark’s site and its surrounding neighborhood. 
  • Five Dutch Days Five Boroughs — Since 2005, the Landmark Fund has been a co-sponsor and organizer of the annual program Five Dutch Days Five Boroughs.  This is a five-day celebration marking Dutch-American Heritage Day and the continuous influence of Dutch arts and culture in New York City – from the City's enterprising, multicultural origins as a Dutch colony to the pivotal role of contemporary Dutch artists and designers in today's international cultural scene. This project brings together organizations from across the City, including museums, historic sites, preservation organizations and Dutch-centered professional, genealogical and business groups.
