And just like that, the Autumnal Equinox arrives this weekend. Our four-week, autumn-inspired Plein Air Workshop series begins on Sep 28. All levels are welcome at this instructor-led series, inspired by the beauty of autumn at Wave Hill. Be sure to register promptly. 

The Family Art Project programming has switched up its scheduling as well. On September 23 and 24, Glydndor Gallery exhibiting artist Jill Cohen-Nuñez will be leading a special Family Art Project and our storytime program will return to the Gund Theater. (This was featured in last weeks email as well and has changed slots with a sundial making project.) 

The gardens close early on Thursday, Sept 21, at 2PM as we dress for our annual Gardeners’ Party, 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.
