  • Wave Hill's Summer Exhibition to Focus on Artist As Environmental
    Images Available on Request Contact: Martha Gellens 718.549.3200 x232 or [email protected] @WaveHill Wave Hill’s Summer Exhibition to Focus on Artist as Environmental Instigator Opening July 1, Glyndor Gallery Showcases Projects Across New York City Bronx, NY, June 11, 2018—Artists are the voice of the community. Often they are the first to voice social concerns and the most effective at garnering grass-roots support for important issues. Not surprisingly, as communities’ concerns about persistent environmental issues have escalated, artists have been uniquely positioned to actively respond, collaborating with engineers, designers, landscape architects, ecologists, historians and other professionals to bridge the gap between science, art and activism. Today, in New York City alone, artists and artist collectives have initiated dozens of complex environmental projects. Wave Hill stands at the center of this paradigm shift—and the work it has generated—providing the impetus for Wave Hill’s summer exhibition. Ecological Consciousness: Artist as Instigator opens July 1. For Wave Hill Senior Curator Jennifer McGregor, for the message of artist as instigator to be effective, it needs to connect with multiple audiences and resonate with locale and topic. Thus the garden’s curatorial team has devoted the gallery space to creating a kind of laboratory setting for showcasing more than a dozen artist-initiated projects generated across the city, addressing issues ranging from water quality and food justice to soil carbon content and resiliency. It is driven, in part, by Wave Hill’s desire to foster environmental stewardship, especially in ways that are explicitly educational. Stewardship, for example, lies at the heart of the garden’s decades-long paid internships for teens to learn about and practice urban ecology.

    November 24, 2020 Troy, NY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Megan Eves Marketing & Communications Associate (518) 273-3400 [email protected] Museum Association of NY Announces Museum Partners for Building Capacity, Creating Sustainability, Growing Accessibility The Museum Association of New York (MANY) is thrilled to announce that 98 museums from across New York State have been selected to participate in “Building Capacity, Creating Sustainability, Growing Accessibility”, an IMLS CARES Act grant project designed to help museums impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic share their collections and reach audiences who cannot physically visit their museums. 200 staff will be trained to use new hardware and software to develop programs that will engage their communities and reach new audiences. “We are honored to be awarded IMLS CARES act funding and excited to be able to make an impact on the work of our colleagues and their museums across New York State,” said Erika Sanger, MANY Executive Director. “We are living in an age of transition, experience a radical shift in our ways of learning and communicating. The group selected captures the diversity of our shared history in NY and our nation. The stories embodied in the museums’ collections and the storytelling talents of their interpretive staff are the heart of the project.” In this two-year project, museums will identify a program to virtually deliver to their audiences, focusing on developing programs from stories found in their collections that reveal cultural and racial diversity in their communities. “We are delighted to have been chosen for this project and cannot wait to get started,” said Brenna McCormick-Thompson, Whaling Museum & Education Center of Cold Spring Harbor Curator of Education.
