- On September 11, 2001, there were more than 1.1 million schoolchildren in New York City. New York University’s Child Study Center sprang into action, releasing two manuals on coping with the emotional fallout shortly after the attacks. The Center would go on to screen and treat children for 9/11-related trauma as well as solicit artwork for exhibition.
New York University’s Child Study Center and The Museum of the City of New York collaborated to pay tribute to children’s artistic responses to September 11 with the exhibition titled The Day Our World Changed: Children’s Art of 9/11. This juried exhibition contained artworks selected from a pool of hundreds compiled by the Center. The Day Our World Changed aimed to provide insight into how some of the nation’s youngest citizens coped with the events of September 11 and how they envisioned the future of their city, their nation, and the global community.
