14th Annual Morningside Lights: TIMEFRAME 1965

September 20, 2025
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
America/New_York
Morningside Park, 116th Street and Morningside Drive, Main Staircase

The 14th annual Morningside Lights, a procession of awe-inspiring handmade lanterns floating through Morningside Park to Columbia’s campus, returns this fall with TIMEFRAME 1965, a celebration of the images, icons, and influences of the year 1965. That transformative year—also the year Columbia University's School of the Arts was founded—sparked a wave of experimentation and social consciousness that still fuels contemporary life and art-making.

Join us at 8PM on September 20 in Morningside Park at 116th Street and Morningside Avenue to witness a mobile, glowing art gallery that represents transformative art and artists, reminding us how myriad ways of seeing can cohabit and enrich one singular space.

All Morningside Lights participants may join anywhere along the route and may enter campus with the procession via the gates at Amsterdam Avenue and 116th Street.

Learn more about the procession route - from Morningside Park to Columbia's campus.
