In spite of this year’s unique circumstances, the 23rd Annual International is on view in Wave Hill’s beautiful Glyndor Gallery and visitors are able to view the exhibition, with strict protocols observed. Visiters must pre-register and can do so on Wave Hill’s website here: https://www.wavehill.org/visit. Wave Hill, a spectacular public garden and cultural center overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades, has evolved as a unique urban oasis and vital community resource. Through innovative programs in horticulture, education and the arts, Wave Hill connects people to nature in meaningful and lasting ways. The selection jury for our 23rd Annual International consisted of Ken Druse, Karen Kluglein, and Eileen Jeng Lynch, who chose 46 artworks from a field of 178 entries.

A virtual catalog of the exhibition is here:
