The publication brings together artwork and personal reflections from artists connected to LongHouse, including Ai Weiwei, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Kiki Smith, Julian Schnabel, and others. During the celebration, participating artists shared selections from their contributions, offering guests a closer look at the ideas and inspirations behind the project. Copies of DayDreams were also available for purchase, with proceeds supporting LongHouse Reserve’s educational programs.
