Wave Hill Weekly Events: July 21–July 28 Sunset Wednesdays, Yoga, Tours & More

 

We’re thankful for the much-needed rain falling this week, and hope it helps the gardens stay looking lush and summer-gorgeous—especially for the lazy days and summer nights ahead. Our regularly scheduled garden walks and gallery tours will inspire you and reconnect your soul to nature. And the rhythmic sounds of Los Hacheros at this week’s Sunset Wednesday are sure to add more sizzle to your week.  

 
Family Art Project: Teeny Tiny Things to See 
Free with admission to the grounds 
 
Get lost in the teeny tiny details found in the ferns at Wave Hill and learn all about their spores. Layer felt and drawings to create soft sculptures that help make the invisible worlds visible.  

 

Public Gallery Tour  
Free with admission to the grounds 

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. 

 

Yoga in the Garden  
$25; including admission to the grounds. Wave Hill Members save 10% 
Registration required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251.    

Root your feet in the grass and look out upon the vistas as you enjoy a gentle yoga class led by Lisa Lindstrom. All levels welcome. Rain cancels. Continues through July. 

Lisa Lindstrom wants you to feel welcome and fulfilled practicing yoga, and will encourage you to explore your body with curiosity, an open mind, and a kind heart. Her intention is for you to feel at least a bit better in some way after you take her class.  

 

Public Garden Highlights Walk 
Free with admission to the grounds 

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. 

 

Sunset Wednesdays: Los Hacheros 
$15/adults; $10/students/seniors; $6/children 6-18; FREE/members and children under 6 
Advance tickets encouraged, but not required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. In the event of inclement weather, this event will move indoors. 

Modern-day torchbearers of the Golden Age of Latin music, Brooklyn’s Los Hacheros are reviving folkloric styles like son montuno, guaracha and salsa. A band of only five musicians, they can sound like a conjunto of 12, infusing their sound with Bomba, a fiery rhythm from the mountains of Puerto Rico.   

Papote Jimenez, singer 
Eddie Venegas, violin/trombone 
Itai Kriss, flute 
Carlos Padron, bongo 
Marcos Lopez, conga 
William Ash, bass
