Summer is in full swing here at Wave Hill! This weekend, join a guided birding walk through our gardens and woodlands or celebrate Frida Kahlo’s birthday at the Family Art Project and create your own nature-inspired self-portraits.
Wednesday, July 12 is Wave Hill Member appreciation day. It’s also a Sunset Wednesday, and we’ll be open late. One of the best young jazz singers, Tatiana Eva-Marie, performs. If you are keen on a Bronx Bats Talk and Walk later that evening, don’t wait to register! Set out with local bat conservationists and search the night skies at Wave Hill. They’ll have an eco-locator, but don’t forget your flashlight too!
Celebrate Frida Kahlo’s birthday with us! Frida used self-portraits to explore her relationship with the plants and animals of her home in Mexico. Let's make our own self-portraits featuring nature here at Wave Hill.
Exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationship between nature, culture and site. When exhibitions are open, Gallery Greeters lead public gallery tours on Thursdays and Saturdays. Visitors can expect an in-depth look at artworks on view in Glyndor Gallery and in the Sunroom Project Space, showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists in a unique environment. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Naturalists and Audubon guides Paul Keim or Gabriel Willow lead birders through the gardens and woodlands to seek out summer birds. Observe the plants, insects and habitats at Wave Hill that make it so appealing for such a wide variety of birds. A limited number of binoculars, monoculars and walking sticks are available to borrow at the Perkins Visitor Center. Ages 10 and older welcome with an adult.
Root your feet in the grass and look out upon the vistas as you enjoy a gentle yoga class led by Susie Caramanica. All levels welcome. Rain cancels. Continues through July; no class July 2.
Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Topics vary by season and the expertise of the Guide--come back for an encore; each walk varies with the Guide leading it. This walk lasts a half-hour to 45 minutes. Severe weather cancels.
“A millennial shaking up the jazz scene” (Vanity Fair) and “One of the best young singers around” (Wall Street Journal), Tatiana Eva-Marie is a Brooklyn-based singer and bandleader. Born and raised in Europe in a professional musical family, a Swiss-French composer and a Romanian classical violinist, she grew up equally fascinated by her father’s New Orleans jazz records and her mother’s folk music heritage. Tatiana’s latest project, Djangology is a reinvention of the music composed by Parisian guitarist Django Reinhardt through the addition of her own original lyrics and arrangements. The tribute is inspired by her French and Balkan heritage and her love for the Parisian art scene of the 1920s to the 1960s.
Join our all-star lineup of experts for a peek at the secret life of bats that live in and migrate through the Bronx. Begin with an indoor presentation on the diversity of urban bats and their importance to our ecosystem, then venture out onto the grounds to search for these nocturnal creatures at Wave Hill using an echo-locator. Bat conservationist Danielle Gustafson, Bradley Klein of the New York City Bat Group and naturalist Gabriel Willow lead this special after-hours program. Come early and enjoy the music on the Great Lawn. Don’t forget your flashlight! Rain date: July 19.
