movers & shakers: catherine laureau of mirari

Meet Catherine Laureau, Development Director of Mirari, the multidisciplinary creative studio who installed the interactive art installation Spectrum on the Flatiron South Plaza as part of our Winter Glow program.

“In today’s fast-paced world, communication is often instantaneous and digital, but Spectrum creates a physical and shared moment where people can see the impact of their voice in real-time,” says Catherine. “It’s about fostering connection—not just with the artwork, but with others in the space.”
