attacks, two great beams of light rose from a site just north of
Ground Zero into the night sky to honor those lost on September 11th
and to celebrate the spirit of all the New Yorkers who have worked to
rebuild and renew our City.
Tribute in Light will shine each night through April 13th, from dusk until 11 p.m.
Conceived in the aftermath of the September 11th tragedies,
Tribute in Light is a temporary artistic gesture bringing together the vision
and talent of numerous individuals who, shortly after the attacks,
independently envisioned two beams of light rising from downtown New York.
Finding support for their ideas, they joined forces in the spirit of the rescue
and recovery effort downtown.
The creative team consists of Architects:
John Bennett and Gustavo Bonevardi of PROUN Space Studio
Artists Julian LaVerdiere and Paul Myoda
Architect Richard Nash Gould
Lighting Designer Paul Marantz
Production support has been provided by two non-profit cultural institutions
