artArt in the Garden: Sunshine in a Bottle
Thu, Sep 17 · 5:00 PM
The Greenhouse and Education Center at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park · Hamilton Heights
Harness the light! Cast rainbows! And find flow working with dried botanicals and upcycled materials With the arrival of Autumn Equninox, as the days get shorter, perserve Summer blooms that brightened your day in your own upcycled botanical lantern. Work with pressed flowers from the garden and upcycled jars to disrupt the wastestream, create something anew, and find flow. Your Facilitator: Wilhelmina Grant-Cooper Wilhelmina Grant-Cooper is a Harlem-based visual artist, arts instructor, and author. She transforms found objects into visual art and sparks viewers’ creativity through discussion and hands-on activities. She is an arts instructor in healthcare settings wherein she uses the arts to nurture the creativity of cancer patients, their families, and staff. She also guides elder participants through arts projects at senior centers throughout the city. Find more of her work at @sistaahstudio on Instagram or on sistaah.org Join us for Art in the Garden every Thursday! Grounded in the garden, join us to critically and creatively engage in a diversity of artmaking techniques that open us up to deeper dialogue on place, our relationships to our lived environments, ecological concerns, and contemporary culture. Learn meditative and mindful drawing, printmaking and sculptural techniques, scientific observation with plant portraiture, nature-inspired intuitive artmaking and mixed media exploration, and other various practices from botanical and ecologically-focused contemporary artists to create works of art to nurture your relationship to the garden. Immerse yourself in the learning garden, greenhouse, and across Riverbank State Park’s green roof overlooking the Hudson River to create artwork that is rooted in place and in partnership with plants. Workshops are rain or shine. When inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces. Accessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths, and the entrance is through a gate with a small, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use, and while we try to cook without peanuts, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers. Our closest bathrooms are a building away, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone, and because herbalism classes take place here, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here, please reach out to Mallory Craig at mcraig@thehort.org.
