Creative Arts at Wave Hill

Time: 10–11:30am
Maximum class size: 24 students
Program fee: $105

For many, art is a natural pathway for connecting with nature. Wave Hill’s arts programs present works by contemporary artists inspired by the natural world, and encourage viewers to consider nature in new ways.

We invite school groups, together with an educator, to experience the works of art exhibited in our gallery, as well as the landscape at Wave Hill that inspired the artists. Following the explorations, students create their own work of art.
