Join us for the final "Meet the Artist" program of the 2024 Sunroom Project Space season. Exhibiting artist Stephanie Beck and Curator of Visual Arts Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger will discuss Beck’s site-specific installation Bough, featuring a series of abstract sculptural “drawings” and the songs of local migratory birds whose populations are in decline, destructive human actions that harm plant and animal species, and art’s role in shifting our relationship to the non-human world.

Bough concludes the 2024 Sunroom Project Space season. The 2025 season artists will be announced in the new year.

"Meet the Artist" is an ongoing series of conversations between exhibiting artists and the curatorial team, and sometimes invited guests, at Wave Hill. This program provides an opportunity for Wave Hill visitors, the artist’s community, and others to learn more about an artist’s creative process and the themes within their work.

Registration encouraged but not required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251.

Glyndor Gallery is wheelchair-accessible. There is an accessible, ground-level entrance at the front of the building with an elevator that provides access to the gallery level. The Sunroom Project Space can be accessed with an ADA-compliant ramp. The restroom on the gallery level is all-gender and ADA-compliant.
