Family Art Project: Petals for Our Pollinators

Sat Jun 26, 2021 - Sun Jun 27, 2021
- see all dates
Repeating every days through June 27, 2021.
10:00am ET
Age: 4 and up
Price: Free with park admission
Location:
Wave Hill

Thank the bees, bats, birds, moths, and butterflies for their work to help flowers reproduce by using pressed petals that have naturally fallen from plants to create a landing pad for these generous beings.

Then, use seeds and dirt to create a living sculpture of a pollinator you would like to honor to take home and plant.

Please note:

  • Advance registration is required.
  • Family Art Project happens outdoors. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and to work with natural materials.
  • Shine only. Check the website the morning of for the status of the day’s program.
  • Please have your masks on when you arrive, and be prepared to respect physical distancing throughout your stay.
  • The location is the Conifer Slope, just to the right of Wave Hill House. Please enter from the roadway that runs along the front of Wave Hill House and to the lawn leading down to the Conifer Slope. Staff will greet you there!
  • The number of families able to participate at any given time will be limited to about five. If you arrive and capacity is full, program staff will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session.
  • Throughout the program, staff will follow strict cleaning and physical distancing protocols to be sure that all materials and surfaces are safe for you to use.
  • Most important: Please come prepared to relax and connect fully with the beauty and serenity of Wave Hill in spring! The Conifer Slope is on a grassy hill. If getting there will be difficult for you or any family member, please contact Mallory Muya, the Arts Program Coordinator, at mallorym@wavehill.org.

Please remember you must have registered online to visit Wave Hill that day in order to participate in the Family Art Project—the number of visitors that can be accommodated continues to follow New York State and New York City guidelines. Also note that Saturday mornings are not admission-free at this time.
