Crowds waiting to gain entry to the crowded High Line Park Sunday afternoon had more than enough to keep them distracted right on Gansevoort Street. Target sponsored a street fair in honor of the newly opened structure, bringing in musicians, performers, and the world's largest lemonade stand.

Target's community relations team worked with Friends of the High Line and New York production firm Usual Suspects to throw the daylong party on one of the city's first clear-skied Sundays of the summer. In addition to officially celebrating last month's opening of the structure to the public, the festivities also marked the tenth anniversary of Friends of the High Line and the 75th anniversary of the elevated track itself.

Calvin Klein Plans Second High Line Party

Calvin Klein Inc. is planning a second High Line party after first offering guests at its 40th anniversary party a sneak preview of the new public space in 2008, WWD reported this morning. The event will serve as the official after-party to the High Line’s opening summer benefit on June 15.

Requests for details weren't immediately answered by representatives from Calvin Klein, but executive vice president of global communications Malcolm Carfrae cited the park's "visionary, contemporary concept" as the brand's motivation for the partnership in an interview with WWD. The "First Party on the High Line," as it's being called, will follow the High Line's 6 p.m. gala at Pier Sixty and cover the soon-to-be-opened park between Gansevoort and 20th Streets.

Incidentally, June 15 is also the date of the 2009 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards at its new home at Alice Tully Hall, making that Monday night a busy one for the events' overlapping guests. —Michael O'Connell

The restoration of the High Line and the surrounding area is in full swing: Today the Whitney Museum of American Art unveiled its designs for a second facility in the meatpacking district. The Renzo Piano-designed structure will be a six-floor, 185,000-square-foot asymmetrical building on Gansevoort Street between West and Washington Streets.

The new downtown location will have approximately 50,000 square feet of gallery space—compared with the 32,000 square feet available at its uptown location. Plans include galleries for the permanent collection on the fourth and fifth floors and space for long-term projects on the sixth, as well as a 17,500-square-foot special exhibition gallery on the third floor and 15,000 square feet of rooftop exhibition space. Also on site will be an education facility, a research library, an area for film, video, and the performing arts, a 175-seat theater, and a restaurant.

The construction of the new museum is expected to begin in spring 2009. —Anna Sekula
