Twin Urn Burn: Closing Ceremony

Join us for the closing celebration of Chloe Seibert’s Twin Urns, a 6-months long public art project culminating in a fall equinox ceremony on Sunday, September 20 at 5 pm. Since the beginning of spring, two large-scale ceramic urns have been collecting visitors’ wishes, fears, dreams and desires on slips of handmade paper made from garden waste. We end this project by lighting the urns and burning the papers inside during a participatory ritual. The ashes will then be incorporated into the Garden’s composting program, completing a cycle that links human expression, the natural world, and renewal. This project is made possible in part by the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts. Chloe Seibert is an artist living and working in Queens, New York. Members visit free. Non-Members $6 (includes Garden admission) RSVP Here.
