The Palm House in our Conservatory is in peak bloom! The gorgeous flame vine and many flowering bulbs from South Africa are bursting with color. It's like stepping into Spring. Strolling the Wild Garden in the fog is also transcending. The snowdrops are blooming amid the patches of ice that are still left on some of the beds and a smell of the Witch Hazel trees is something special this time of year – as is warming up with a peppermint latte and a croissant, one of the current specials in the Café.
With Valentine’s Day in mind, take a cue from the ways animals protect their families by creating woodland critters. Celebrate the ways we care for each other. Give your stuffed creation as a heartwarming gift, or keep it to remind you of our local woodland friends.
At 11:30AM, families can enjoy a storytime program in the Gund Theater; all ages welcome.
The Winter Workspace is a program that takes place over two, six-week sessions and provides artists with free studio space, a financial stipend, and access to Wave Hill’s living collection. Session One takes place from January 2 to February 18, 2024. Since its start 14 years ago, the Workspace has supported more than 150 artists. During the Winter Workspace, artists have intimate access to the greenhouses, as well as horticultural and curatorial staff. Experimentation is encouraged and artists expand their practices while working on site. Artists also engage with Wave Hill visitors through Drop-In Sundays and Open Studios, as well as adult or family workshops. At the core of the Winter Workspace is the recognition that creating art within the context of a garden is a unique experience.
During this Open Studios event, meet the artists participating in Session One of the Winter Workspace and see what they've been working on over the last six weeks. Visitors can learn about the artists' practice, sources and materials. Explore each artist studio, see new and in-process work inspired by Wave Hill and created on site, and meet other art-lovers. Artists participating in this session are Eva Davidova, Eliza Evans, Tristan Higginbotham, Katarina Jerinic, Erin Johnson and Ibtisam Tasnim Zaman.
This event is family-friendly, and we welcome visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to attend. A Discovery Guide for families is available at the gallery desk, offering a fun way to engage with the artwork on view.
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. Public Garden Walks are most appropriate for adults or young adults.
