Nature inspires art every day at Wave Hill. Come celebrate it with us this week at our Fall Arts Opening Day on Sunday with two new exhibitions in Glydndor Gallery. Exhibiting artist Jill Cohen-Nuñez will also be leading a special Family Art Project and our storytime program returns to the Gund Theater this weekend.
The gardens will close early on Thursday, Sept 21 at 2PM as we dress for our annual Gardeners’ Party that evening, honoring Margaret Roach and featuring our famous plant auction. Proceeds help care for Wave Hill's world-class garden and train the next generation of horticulturalists through the John Nally Intern Program.
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.
Public Gallery Tour
Solo and group exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationships between nature, culture and site. When exhibitions are on view in the spring, summer and fall, Gallery Greeters lead public exhibition tours on Thursdays and Saturdays at 2PM. 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 the unique context of a public garden. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Join visiting artist Jill Cohen-Nuñez in exploring our personal connection with nature through mask-making. Learn how to hand-build a clay mask that represents your relationship with the great outdoors. Decorate it with leaves and twigs to create a fanciful façade displaying your feelings about the season. At 11:30AM, families may enjoy a storytime program in the Gund Theater, all ages welcome.
Jill Cohen-Nuñez is a Dominican-American artist from the Bronx working within mixed-media sculpture, performance and sound. Their work is grounded in a desire to investigate memory, ritual and generational healing through hand-carving wood and stone, clay, glass, weaving and sewing. Through these arduous methods of creating, their work reflects on connections to nature, ancestral guardians, meditation, processing of grief, formations of ritual and serves as a documentation of personal and traditional remedies.

Join us for the opening of two new exhibitions in Glyndor Gallery this fall, including Light from Water: Heidi Howard and Esteban Cabeza de Baca with Liz Phillips, and new site-specific exhibitions in the Sunroom Project Space. Light from Water features new collaborative works by Heidi Howard and Esteban Cabeza de Baca, as well as Cabeza de Baca’s layered landscape paintings, Howard’s self-portraits that incorporate plant life, natural settings and a sound-responsive sculpture by Liz Phillips. Many of the works on view were created at Wave Hill and inspired by the views and vegetation growing in the Aquatic Garden. Opening in the Sunroom Project Space are site-specific installations by New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellows Max Sarmiento and Jill Cohen-Nuñez.
