Wave Hill Events May 4-May 11

 

It’s time to be present in the moment—join us at Wave Hill this weekend and absorb the peaceful atmosphere. Take a stroll through the gardens on a guided garden walk and let yourself fall into the beauty of the season.


If you visit as a family, be sure to join the Family Art Project. Create art inspired by the migratory birds passing over Wave Hill each spring–it’s guaranteed to be an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike.

                                                                            

Family Art Project: Painting to Migratory Birdsongs 

Free with admission to the grounds

Meet at Wave Hill House                                                                                                                                            Migrating birds pass over Wave Hill each spring, singing and warbling as they go. Some even stop here and treat us to a birdy concert! With the music of migratory birds for inspiration, craft colorful bird creations to fill the sky. 


Registration not required. 


The program takes place indoors in the Kerlin Learning Center located on the lower level of Wave Hill House. Please note the following important COVID-related information to ensure everyone’s safety: 

  • Approximately nine families will be able to participate at a time, based on the time each family arrives. 

  • If capacity is full when you arrive, we will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session. 

  • Each family will receive its own set of materials and cleaning will happen in between seating participants. 

  • Unvaccinated visitors are encouraged to wear a mask inside. 


Wave Hill House is located along a paved route with moderate changes in grade. The building is wheelchair-accessible. There is an accessible, ground-level entrance at the front of the building with a power-assist door. The restroom on the ground level is all-gender and ADA-compliant. Additional ADA-compliant restrooms are available on the lower level, which can be accessed by elevator.
