We expect the gardens to end the year on a quiet note, which will resonate into the new year. Spend the first Saturday morning of the year focused on your wellbeing at a special workshop. Or make the weekend family-time at what is a time-honored Family Art Project—a garden-y vision for the next 12 months.
Don’t be discouraged if you notice that the trip to Magazzino Italian Art is just for Members. Join today and reap all the benefits of Wave Hill Membership. Opened earlier this year, Magazzino was described by critic Nancy Princenthal in The New York Times (“Contemporary Art Steams Up the Hudson”, August 24, 2017) as a “horseshoe of elegant galleries surrounding a ghostly piazza,” providing “an almost comically sleek home for the Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu collection of postwar and recent Italian art. Their concentration is Arte Povera, a term coined by Germano Celant in 1967 that means, roughly, impoverished art.” The expedition includes lunch and a visit to the studio of a local artist.
Our best wishes for a healthy and peaceful new year!
