Art Making with the Whitney Museum

The Whitney Museum of American Art is coming to the Bronx for a special artmaking project at the New York Botanical Garden. Artists of all ages are welcome to join us for a tour of the Azalea Garden and to create watercolors inspired by the scenic surroundings.

This artmaking project is inspired by artist Joseph Stella, an Italian immigrant who—missing the plants from his native country—would visit the New York Botanical Garden in the 1920s for artistic inspiration. One of the works he created that was inspired by the New York Botanical Garden, Neapolitan Song, was featured in the first-ever Whitney Biennial—a showcase of what’s new and exciting in contemporary American art, and a part of the NYC cultural landscape since 1932.

Included in an All-Garden Pass ticket; This weekend is FREE for kids ages 12 and under who arrive in Wonderland-inspired attire. Offer available onsite only June 29 & 30, 2024. See any ticket window for details.
