The Tribute WTC Visitors Center is hosting a new exhibition, Coming Together: Our Children Respond to 9/11 with Hope for the Future. The show, which runs through Jan. 18, is produced in collaboration with the NYU Child Study Center. The exhibit features paintings, collages and multimedia created between 2001 and 2006 by children in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All of the work was created with the support of parents and teachers who recognized the strong need young people had and have to express their reactions to the catastrophic events of 9/11/01.

“The most important aspect of this exhibit is that it not only acknowledges the confusion, fear and sorrow we all felt in the fall of 2001, it also allows us to see the desire that so many young people have for a more humane world,” said Meriam Lobel , the exhibit’s curator.  

The exhibit will run concurrently with a series of family programs at Tribute from August through December of this year, including, art workshops and choral performances.  A schedule can be found at the Tribute Center ’s website, where people can also find information on community service projects for students and families.Extensive resources for parents and teachers are available on the NYU Child Study Center ’s website, www.AboutOurKids.org.
