Arts Initiative at Columbia University

Thank you to everyone who made this year's Morningside Lights incredibly special, even when we could not come together in person.

So wonderful to see Van Tran’s Morningside Lights lantern featured on Spectrum News NY1 today! We look forward to sharing our video celebration with everyone tonight. https://www.ny1.com//blm-vigil-inspires-morningside-lights#
