Wave Hill’s Spring Gala

6:00PM
Gardens & Gallery

Grab an Effervescent Elixir or create your own sparkling libation at our Bubbly Bar. Explore the gardens and Glyndor Gallery’s exhibitions as you move to the beat of jazz pianist and bandleader César Orozco, accompanied by Gabriel Vivas on bass and Pablo Bencid on drums.

7:30PM
Wave Hill House

Make your way to historic Wave Hill House for a site-specific installation of vivid, cut-paper (papel picado) banners by 2022 Winter Workspace Artist-in-Residence Blanka Amezkua. After dessert and before you depart, be sure to grab a plant from your table’s living centerpiece hand-picked by Director of Horticulture, Cathy Deustch.

The generosity of our Spring Gala supporters is deeply appreciated and underwrites the care of our gardens and our arts programs, including former Artist-in-Residence Blanka Amezkua's site-specific installation in Armor Hall and a live performance by Pigeonwing Dance. Both will be featured at the Arts Opening Day on Saturday, May 21.

Ailey II, the second company of the world-renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, presents its program, Freedom Series, outdoors on Wave Hill’s Great Lawn on the first day of summer. Ailey II is universally renowned for merging the spirit and energy of the country’s finest dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today’s most outstanding emerging choreographers. Gala supporters will have early access to tickets for this special event.
