Family Art Project: Faces of Nature

At Wave Hill, “Family Art Project: Faces of Nature” is a hands-on workshop for kids and caregivers that treats the garden as both subject and material. Participants assemble portraits from leaves, seeds, bark rubbings, and other natural forms, linking observation to simple composition. In a city where many children’s encounters with nature are brief and managed, the project makes time for looking closely and making deliberately. It has no fixed NYC premiere history; its significance is local and seasonal, tied to the Bronx landscape itself.
