Family Art Project: Día de los Muertos
Visiting artist Paulina Perera-Riveroll shares this special Mexican cultural holiday when the spirits of the beloved come home and visit. She will show us the traditional use of the four elements to adorn retablos, small boxes filled with meaning and purpose to honor a loved one. Decorate your box with objects and found natural materials, adding a photo of your dear one, if you like. We’ll also create a group “altar” honoring a former resident, the majestic copper beech tree that stood in the Shade Border, providing shade and beauty to countless visitors. Free, and admission to the grounds is free until noon.

Gallery Tour
Learn about Glyndor Gallery exhibitions on a tour led by Wave Hill’s Curatorial Fellow. In a new collaboration, Wave Hill is partnering with the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA) to produce and host ASBA’s 21st Annual International. ASBA’s mission is to provide a thriving, interactive community dedicated to perpetuating the tradition and contemporary practice of botanical art. This juried exhibition consists of two-dimensional original botanical art, including some specimens found at Wave Hill. In the Sunroom Project Space, Keren Anavy, creating a conservatory from man-made materials, responds to Wave Hill’s late-fall landscape. Suspended from the ceiling, abstract paintings on translucent Mylar dip into shallow pools of ink and correspond to the changing colors of Wave Hill’s seasonal plants. Anavy is also collaborating with Valerie Green/Dance Entropy on Utopia, a dance performance, which will be presented in the gallery. Free with admission to the grounds.
