In the years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001 unfolded, artists from all walks of life have created moving artwork in hopes of helping a bruised nation heal. This event explores two decades worth of thoughtful memorials and artworks connected to 9/11, created to honor its many victims, teach our children, and help us shape a safer future.

Join New York Adventure Club on the eve of the 20th Anniversary of September 11, 2001 for a virtual event that honors New York City's darkest day while offering hope for a better tomorrow.

Led by Sylvia Laudien-Meo — art historian, museum educator, and NYC tour guide — this virtual art journey through a wide range of touching and inspirational artworks will include:
