Come enjoy the wintry grounds on a walk. Be sure to stop in Glyndor this Sunday for Open Studios. Meet all six Winter Workspace Artists, tour their studios in Glyndor Gallery and see what they've been up to the past six weeks. At this week’s Family Art Project, take inspiration from the gardens and create and decorate silhouettes of trees.
Family Art Project: Winter Silhouettes
Free with admission to the grounds
Meet at Wave Hill House
As winter lingers on, light dims at our homes, use lanterns to cast the shadows of seasonal trees. Draw their silhouettes, add textures and then decorate them using washable paint, conifer cones, dried flowers and leaves.
Registration not required.

Winter Workspace 2023: Open Studios
Sat, Feb 18, 1–4PM
Free with admission to the grounds
Glyndor Gallery
The Winter Workspace is a program that takes place over two, six-week sessions and provides artists with free studio space, a financial stipend, and access to Wave Hill’s living collection. Session One takes place from January 9 to February 19, 2023. Since its start 14 years ago, the Workspace has supported more than 150 artists. During the Winter Workspace, artists have intimate access to the greenhouses, as well as horticultural and curatorial staff. Experimentation is encouraged and artists expand their practices while working on site. Artists also engage with Wave Hill visitors through Drop-In Sundays, Open Studios, as well as adult or family workshops. At the core of the Winter Workspace is the recognition that creating art within the context of a garden is a unique experience.
During this Open Studios event, meet the artists participating in Session One of the Winter Workspace and see what they've been working on over the last six weeks. Visitors can learn about the artists' practice, sources and materials. Explore each artist studio, see new and in-process work inspired by Wave Hill and created on site, and meet other art-lovers.
This event is family-friendly, and we welcome visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to attend. A Discovery Guide for families is available at the gallery desk, offering a fun way to engage with the artwork on view.
Registration encouraged but not required for this drop-in event; register online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. Questions? Please email us at information@wavehill.org or call the telephone number and extension above.
