Creative Time - Tribute in Light

Creative Time

Creative Time, for nearly 30 years, has commissioned and presented public artworks, many of which have addressed timely social issues from AIDS awareness and domestic violence to genetic research. Now, Creative Time is working on projects that promote tolerance and understanding in the face of the devastation our society has recently experienced. Creative Time is committed to producing artwork of all disciplines by innovative artists of our time that enhances public understanding of timely issues, provides free public access to the arts, and invigorates our urban landscape. www.creativetime.org.
