Glyndor Gallery at Wave Hill presents Hive Culture: Captivated by the Honeybee, an exhibit featuring works by artists from around the nation who have been inspired by and highlight the bee.

Each work was created to raise awareness of the importance of bees to agricultural and environmental health. The urgency to educate others about the plight of the bee can be linked to Colony Collapse Disorder. This exhibit presents each artist’s response to the honeybee in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography and video. Visitors are submerged in a multi-dimensional exploration in the role that bees play in pollination, environmental health and our changing relationship to nature. Artists include: Jennifer Angus, Anonda Bell, Deborah Davidovits, Anda Dubinskis, Cara Enteles, Rose-Lynn Fisher, Sally Gall, Hope Ginsburg, Talia Greene, Judith R. Harvest, Rob Keller, Holly Lynton, Lenore Malen, Andrea Lilienthal, Julia Oldham, Michelle Rozic, Jeanne Silverthorne and Draga Šušanj.

A public garden, Wave Hill understands the importance of pollination, and has had a long history of keeping bees. In 2003, Wave Hill introduced visitors to the basics of beekeeping through its public programs. Hive Culture is an opportunity for Wave Hill to present artwork, in conjunction with a series of public programs, that link s art and nature. This fall, gallery events coincide with two special weekends at Wave Hill, Honey Weekend (October 1, 2) and Hive Culture Weekend (November 5, 6). All programs are free with admission to the grounds unless otherwise noted.
