Morningside Lights returned with In Retrospect: 100 Years of New York Art, a shared celebration of a century of the New York art and artists that have shaped our vision of the city, or inspired us to evolve, learn, and move forward. Presented in collaboration with the Friends of Morningside Park, each of the 50+ community-built lanterns paid tribute to 100 years of art through an illuminated retrospective of New York’s rich and radical visual culture.

Morningside Lights is one of the "best NYC events in September."
