Wave
Hill is all about connecting people with nature, so a weekend like
“Drawn to Nature”, highlighted below, is, well, a natural. Centered
around the spring exhibition in Glyndor Gallery—drawings by seven
contemporary artists—it invites visitors to get inspired by the early
spring landscape. And it’s a Target Free weekend, which translates to
free admission and free programs all day, both days.
SAT, SUN, APRIL 6, 7 DRAWN TO NATURE WEEKEND
Experience
the landscape through drawing this Target Free weekend with activities
for all ages. At the Family Art Project, join artist Ander Mikalson in
creating a large-scale line of drawings weaving and winding through Wave
Hill. In the afternoon, participate in a collaborative project with
guest artists: We provide the tools, paper and natural inspiration; you
draw what you experience! On Saturday, join a guided tour of the spring
exhibition in Glyndor Gallery and, on Sunday, a reception with talks by
