Wave Hill Weekly Events (Apr 30 – May 7) | Explore the Meanings of Home: Exhibits, Crafts, & More
Home translates through barriers like language or location. It finds itself in a feeling; in the comfort of loved ones and the special places we find ourselves in. Craft with loved ones to translate this into an artful medium, notice the flora and fauna that call this space home, and search the meaning of it in your own special way. Explore what ‘home’ means to you through the careful observation of the garden.
