The Family Art Project team at Wave Hill is thrilled to be able to begin to welcome families back onsite–carefully–in October, with projects closely tuned to the season. Guests will be exploring plant myths, what it means to love the land and giving special attention to Indigenous People’s Day (October 12) and Remembrance Day for Lost Species (November 30).
As always, the program will be offered Saturday and Sunday mornings, from 10AM to 1PM. While art-making is still the focus, it will be a little more structured than usual, and storytelling will be on hiatus until it is safe for to offer it again. To assure that everyone feels safe and welcomed, special rules will be in effect:
