43rd Annual Wreath Interpretations Exhibit

See imaginative holiday wreaths at the Arsenal Gallery. 

Location: Arsenal Gallery, 64th Street and Fifth Avenue, Third Floor of the Arsenal building
Cost: FREE

You'll find a most unusual collection of holiday wreaths on the third floor of the Arsenal Building in Central Park.

This year's nearly 40 eclectic interpretations of the traditional holiday decoration have been handcrafted by Parks employees, artists, designers, and individuals of all ages using an unexpected assortment of materials, such as packing peanuts, Legos, aluminum, miscellaneous scraps, found objects, and more.   

Each wreath is accompanied by a short artist statement that tells gallery visitors about the meaning behind the wreath, which explore a wide range of themes, such as the subway system's switch to OMNY, environmental issues, food and cooking, holidays, and memorials.

Most wreaths are available for purchase. A portion of the sales proceeds goes to support the gallery and the Parks’ public art programming.

Note: The Arsenal Gallery will be closed on December 25th and January 1st.
