Join The Family Art Project!
Saturday and Sunday, 10AM–1PM
The setting for Family Art Projects—usually in or outside Wave Hill House—varies according to the season and weather. Check the calendar for details.
The Family Art Project is an inter-generational program for families to come together and make art inspired by nature, science and culture. By using art as a starting point for exploring these themes, we aim to achieve a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Families Making Art!
Free with admission, the Family Art Project does not require preregistration. Capacity is limited, however. Please note the following program information:
- 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 are encouraged to wear a mask inside.
We look forward to having you join us for a program. For more information to help you prepare for your visit, please visit Know Before You Go. If you have any questions, please email us at information@wavehill.org or call 718.549.3200 x251.
