Wave Hill Weekly Events: October 12 – October 19 | Mindful Birding & Meet the Artists

 

Come mid-October, the autumn foliage is beginning to paint the beautiful, panoramic views at Wave Hill. It’s a perfect time to reflect on the transformative power of nature to inspire and heal us. Join us for two special Meet the Artist sessions on Saturday afternoon as current exhibiting artists discuss their creative process and the inspiration behind some of their site-specific works.  

This weekend we also have our eyes on the sky. Join Bronx birder Haley Scott for a free Easy Mindful Birding experience, just as we reach peak migrating season for hawks. Then craft your own raptor gliders at the Family Art Project.
