Last year’s Hate Crimes Prevention Art Exhibit was held at the Brooklyn Borough Hall. Over 200 people attended the ceremony, which included speeches by community leaders and elected officials, such as City Councilmember John Liu; performances by artists Elijah Kuan Wong and Maya Azucena; and the presentation of the contest winners. The event was covered in the New York Times, as well as other mainstream and ethnic press.
