Leave Your Legacy at the Uptown Film Center

Be a part of history and contribute to the restoration and launch of the  Uptown Film Center by participating in our Name a Seat campaign.

Your Name on a Seat. Your Mark on History.

Honor a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or commemorate your family’s connection to cinema with a personalized brass name plate on a theater seat.  Individual or collective tributes are welcome!  Ask us about a customizable link to request a crowd-sourced contribution.

$5,000 per seat secures your legacy

More than a plaque, your contribution brings us one seat closer to realizing the dream of an arthouse in Upper Manhattan; it’s a permanent mark of your dedication to cinema, to the revitalization of our neighborhood, and to a new arts institution in our community.

Donations by check can be sent to: Uptown Film Center, 440 West End Avenue #4A, New York, NY 10024.
