Family Art Project: We Must Tell The Bees

Beekeeping lore across cultures tells us that important life events must first told first to the bees, to ensure that they stay with the hive and continue to care for the flowers. What might you tell the bees? Using upcycled materials and found objects, create a shadow box memorializing important moments in your life and in the world around you. Then use beeswax to preserve these memories and speak the language of the bees.

If rain, the program moves indoors to the Kerlin Learning Center located on the ground floor of Wave Hill House. Please note the following important COVID-related information to ensure everyone’s safety:

• Approximately nine families will be able to participate at a time, based on the time each family arrives.
• If capacity is full when you arrive, we will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session.
• Each family will receive its own set of materials and cleaning will happen in between seating participants.
• Unvaccinated visitors will be asked to wear a mask inside.

Registration not required.
