Breathtaking photo of this year’s 9/11 anniversary art installation, “A Tribute in Light”.
In 1996, LaVerdiere co-founded a design company to conceive and engineer elaborate, environments, sets and special effects for print advertising, public events, commercial television and feature films. In September 2001, LaVerdiere and fellow artist Paul Myoda collaborated with a team of architects, public art organizations including Creative Time and The Municipal Arts Society and The New York City Mayor’s Office, to create The Tribute in Light. The Tribute in Light has become an annual light memorial honoring the victims of the World Trade Center collapse.
Julian was awarded the Augustus Saint Gaudens Award for Art at our 2014 Founder’s Day.
