Our Winter Workspace artists residency has started and while it’s quiet around the garden, things have gotten much more energized here inside the Glyndor House and Gallery. Our first group of 6 artists have just started and we can’t wait to see what they are inspired by here at Wave Hill. Our first Drop-in Sunday of the season is on Jan 28th – all ages are welcome to come meet the artists and learn about the work they have been creating.
Deep in the winter, the light outside becomes dimmer. To brighten things up, we’ll use lamps to create playful shadows of wintertime animals. By drawing their silhouettes, we will discover shapes and unique features that allow us to identify creatures from afar.
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.
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 Studio events, 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.
The Winter Workspace Drop-In Sunday series provides an opportunity for Wave Hill visitors to deepen their connection with the arts and their experience of the garden by learning how artists are drawing inspiration from our site. During this event, visitors can mingle with three Workspace Artists in their studios, ask questions and learn about their creative practice. Each Sunday a different group of artists participates.
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.
