Wave Hill Events September 2-September 9

Exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationship between nature, culture and site. Public gallery tours of the exhibitions are led by Gallery Greeters on Thursdays and Saturdays. 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 a unique environment. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. Today’s tour features Eco Urgency: Now or Never, an exhibition co-organized by Wave Hill and Lehman College Art Gallery, which shows artists’ varied responses to the unfolding ecological crisis. Sunroom Projects by New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellows Jake Brush and Katherine Miranda will also be included in the tour. Registration not required. Thanks to Con Edison’s Arts Al Fresco series, admission to the grounds is free from 10AM to noon today.

Dig into the life’s work of scientist Dr. George Washington Carver, who was dedicated to improving soil health with Black and poor farmers after the Civil War. Learn how to examine soil quality through creating chromatographies—abstract prints made from soil testing. Then create living sculptures that revitalize the soil. Family Art Project is no longer shine-only. If rain, the program moves indoors to the Kerlin Learning Center located on the ground floor of Wave Hill House. Please note the following important COVID-related information to ensure everyone’s safety: Approximately nine families will be able to participate at a time, based on the time each family arrives. If capacity is full when you arrive, we will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session. Each family will receive its own set of materials and cleaning will happen in between seating participants. Unvaccinated visitors will be asked to wear a mask inside.
