Start the semester on a bright note with Morningside Lights, the beloved annual procession of awe-inspiring handmade lanterns floating through Morningside Park to Columbia’s campus. Meet fellow art lovers in the Miller Theatre lobby for an evening of making and mingling as you create your own mini lantern inspired by this year’s theme, The Reimagined Monument—a timely invitation to rethink the convention of public statuary, creating your own monuments to speak to the current moment, shared past, and hopes for the future. End your night illuminated by a radiant display as we join the Morningside Lights procession to carry our lanterns across College Walk together.
