Wave Hill Events October 28-November 4

By the end of October, rich colors will be transforming our trees and shrubs—it’s so easy to fall for fall at Wave Hill. Experience the season on guided garden walks, including a fall foliage walk on Nov 3—and it repeats on Nov 6, by the way—and our weekly public garden highlights walk on Sunday afternoon. And if you aren’t able to make it to the gardens, stay connected virtually with an artist talk on Zoom–exhibiting artists and the curatorial team at Wave Hill will discuss the artists’ creative process and the themes within their work. More info below!
This week the Family Art Project celebrates the Mexican cultural holiday Día de los Muertos through creative art-making. Hope to see you there!

Beyond Sight: Eco-Urgency (Virtual)
Thu, November 4, 2021, 12:30–2PM
Free with registration
“Beyond Sight” is an ongoing series of conversations between exhibiting artists and the curatorial team at Wave Hill that provides an opportunity to learn more about an artist’s creative process and the themes within their work through non-visual ways of experiencing art. 

Designed for visually impaired, blind and sighted guests, “Beyond Sight: Eco Urgency” combines verbal descriptions and interpretation of select works currently on view in Glyndor Gallery. Organized by Curatorial Assistant Jesse Bandler Firestone, attendees can expect to learn about different artworks in the exhibition and hear directly from the artists about their process and thinking. Participants will explore visual details of exhibited works through verbal descriptions and can take part in a conversation to deepen their engagement with the themes explored in Eco Urgency: Now or Never.
