2025 sunroom project space
The Sunroom Project Space provides an opportunity for New York City-area artists at the early stages of their career, irrespective of their age, to develop and present a site-specific solo project at Wave Hill. The exhibition spaces available for 2025 are the windowed Sunroom and Sun Porch in Glyndor Gallery and the newly renovated Glyndor Terrace. Wave Hill seeks proposals for artist projects that engage with the site of Wave Hill (the plant collection, histories and other aspects of the grounds) and the intertwined relationships between nature and the Bronx. For the 2025 season, Wave Hill is particularly interested in projects that provide new perspectives on constructs of nature as they shape, inform and relay histories about the Bronx, including but not limited to Riverdale where Wave Hill is located, the surrounding neighborhoods and the diverse neighborhoods and communities of the Bronx.
Five artists will be selected for solo exhibitions and will receive an honorarium of $2,000 each. One artist will be selected to present a site-specific project or a series of performances on Glyndor Terrace with an honorarium of $6,000. In addition, Sunroom Project Space artists will receive exhibition and professional development support. Artists will have six to twelve months to research and develop their ideas and create new work. Organized by Curator of Visual Arts Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger, each project is accompanied by a Meet the Artist program co-designed with the artists and an exhibition essay published both in print and online. The Meet the Artist program provides an opportunity for Wave Hill visitors, the artist’s community, and others to learn more about an artist’s creative process and the themes within their work.
