Annual Wreath Interpretations Exhibit Returns to NYC Parks’ Arsenal Gallery

Frazier Moore, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Postmodern, 2024

December 5, 2024 – January 2, 2025

An annual tradition since 1982, Wreath Interpretations returns for its 42nd year with over 30 novel wreaths guaranteed to spark your holiday spirit and your curiosity.  

NYC Parks invites you to experience this time-honored tradition – though there’snothing traditional about these wreaths! Wreaths are selected for their unconventional interpretations of the classic holiday symbol and often use unusual materials. 

Visitors will see wreaths made of materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, aqua resin, and acrylic as well as other items like alarm clocks, faux fireworks, confetti, pens and paint brushes, money, and much more. The wreaths explore a wide range of themes, including the pharmaceutical industry, cultural heritage, post-modernism, and NYC Parks’ lifeguard recruitment campaign.  

This event is FREE and open to the public. For more information, visit nyc.gov/parks/art. Groups of five or more people can call 212-360-8114 or email artandantiquities@parks.nyc.gov to pre-register. 

*The Arsenal Gallery will be closed on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, and Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
