Family Art Project: A Growing Season
Free with admission to the grounds
Meet at Wave Hill House
With spring fast approaching, we need pots for planting! Inspired by the many plants emerging at this time of year, design a pot using upcycled cardboard boxes. Then, decorate your pot, add some soil and you'll be ready to plant a seed!
Registration not required.

Wave Hill House
Join painter and horticulturist Rebecca Allan for a conversation with design historian Sarah Lichtman. The speakers will discuss the ways in which we reinvent and sustain our relationships to the natural world and each other, through the related labors and tools of painting and horticulture. Allan and Lichtman will show images of Allan’s recent works from Cultivating Eden, currently on view in Wave Hill House. They will also reference art historical examples that reflect our fascination with gardens and plant life as subject matter in art, including paintings by 16th century Dutch artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder and 18th-century Italian artist Giovanni Batista Tiepolo.
