  • Winter Workspace 2019 at Wave Hill

    This winter, Wave Hill has invited a diverse cohort of emerging and mid-career, New York-based visual artists to create new work onsite. During two, six-week sessions in January, February and March, selected artists work in a wide range of mediums and an array of artistic modes, using Glyndor Gallery as studio space. While participating in the residency, the artists explore the grounds, study the garden’s living collection and experiment with new creative possibilities influenced by their time at Wave Hill.
