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.
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 inner feelings about the season. At 11:30AM, families may enjoy a storytime program in the Gund Theater, all ages welcome.
Using sketch and watercolor techniques and a palette of luminous colors, explore the architectural elements and garden structures that compliment Wave Hill’s exuberant autumn landscape. Artist Wennie Huang leads this seasonally inspired plein air workshop series for artists of all levels and abilities. A supplies list will be provided prior to the first class. This series is rain or shine, with an indoor location reserved in case of rain. This four-session workshop series continues on October 5, 12 and 19, 2023.
Mixed-media artist Wennie Huang, PSA, produces works that range from small drawings and limited-edition books and projects to site-specific installations. For over a decade, Wennie has led Wave Hill art workshops in pastel, watercolor and mixed media, and even a book-making workshop for children. Huang currently teaches at Parsons School for Design, 92nd Street Y and the Pastel Society of America (PSA), where she is a Signature Member.
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.
