Wave Hill, a 28-acre public garden and cultural center in the Bronx is seeking volunteers for its 50 th Anniversary celebration exhibition. On select days from April 24 - May 24, Wave Hill will be open in the evening and feature a spectacular sound and light installation by award-winning artist Chris Doyle. Doyle’s The Lightening: a project for Wave Hill’s Aquatic Garden combines rear-projected animation, light and sound in the serene space of the Aquatic Garden. The gardens will be open from 6:30pm - 9:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays during the month-long commemoration. Volunteers are needed during the evenings to help with crowd management, greeting of guests and ushering. We ask for a commitment of a minimum of two evenings during the scope of the celebration. We are also seeking daytime volunteers for greeting and administrative assistance. There will be an orientation/information session in early April prior to the opening. Volunteers should contact Nancy Kelly at Wave Hill for more information or to sign up. She can be reached at 917-564-8326 or nancyk@wavehill.org. An independent, non-profit cultural institution, Wave Hill’s mission is to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscapes, to preserve its magnificent views, and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts.
