As we soak up the last days of summer in the gardens, we're also looking towards fall! We have some exciting news and virtual programming coming up the next few months, like the return of onsite Family Art Project! Check out what's new below.
And a friendly reminder: Wave Hill is open Wed through Sun from 10AM to 5:30PM. Wave Hill House and Glyndor Gallery are also open with reduced hours and limited capacity. The Cafe is open for grab-and-go snacks and beverages. Our shuttle service is still suspended due to social distancing guideless. Advanced reservatio
Our annual Honey Weekend moves online this year to celebrate the hard-working pollinators in our yards, gardens and natural areas. Throughout the month of September, we're offering virtual activities and information you can access on-demand as well as live virtual programs with experts.
Local honey, beeswax products and candle-making supplies are available by mail through The Shop at Wave Hill. And if you plan to visit the garden, take a self-guided tour of pollinator-friendly plants or just enjoy the gardens in their fall glory.
The first of our Fall 2020 exhibitions have been installed and we are thrilled to be reopening Glyndor Gallery to the public. Visit wavehill.org for most up-to-date hours and visitor policies so you can see these works in person.
The Family Art Project team is thrilled to be able to begin to welcome families back onsite--carefully–in October, with projects closely tuned to the season. We’ll be exploring plant myths, what it means to love the land and giving special attention to Indigenous People’s Day (October 12) and Remembrance Day for Lost Species (November 30).
As always, the program will be offered Saturday and Sunday mornings, from 10AM to 1PM. While art-making is still the focus, it will be a little more structured than usual, and storytelling will be on hiatus until it is safe for us to offer it again. To assure that we all feel safe and welcomed, special rules will be in effect:
- Family Art Projects will happen outdoors.
- Masks and social distancing are required.
- The location will be the Conifer Slope, just outside the side entrance to the Family Art Project. Please enter from the roadway that runs along the front of Wave Hill House and the lawn leading down to the Conifer Slope.
- The number of families able to participate at any given time will be limited to about five. If you arrive and capacity is full, program staff will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session.
- Shine only. Check the website the morning of for the status of the day’s program.
A 28-acre public garden and cultural center overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades, Wave Hill’s mission is to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscape, to preserve its magnificent views, and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts.
HOURS: Special restricted hours as New York City recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic: 10AM–5:30PM, Wednesdays–Sunday.
