  was made available for the public to view at The Museum of American Illustration at The Society of Illustrators on September 10

  2011. \n\nThe book is a reflection on the memorial exhibition that was held in response to the heart rendering events of September 11

  2001. Artists of an international community had responded with imagery that honored the heroism and humanity demonstrated by countless individuals in the wake of the tragedy at Ground Zero. \n\nThe book was authored by a global community of artists answered with a naturally creative and deep sense of duty to document

  validate and inspire. Their response was generous. Over 600 artists had registered. Their work earned over 25

  000 dollars which was distributed through several funds benefiting those victims of the World Trade Center Disaster. \n\nA decade hadpassed

  one of resilient spirit and fortitude. This coming Sunday

  Prevailing Human Spirit

  The Exhibition will help mark the 10th anniversary of one of the darkest periods in the history of New York City with a small collection of the work which describes an artistic response to the compelling courage it took to prevail beyond it. The works within the pages were a selection which toured after the initial exhibition to such additional venues as the United Nations

  The New-York Historical Society

  The Huntington Museum and The Wethersfield Historical Society in 2002. Every artist

  supporter and volunteer who participated had been named in the book.\n\n
