DETAILS:            NYC Parks' annual Wreath Interpretations exhibition is set to return to the Arsenal Gallery, with almost 40 inventive, handcrafted wreaths that celebrate the holiday season. Created by artists, designers, and creative individuals of all ages who have used inventive and unexpected materials, these wreaths re-envision the traditional holiday decoration.

   

This year's wreaths use unusual materials, including caution tape, traffic light reflectors, safety pins, bath sponges, rulers, Mardi Gras beads, and sugar meringue, and explore a wide range of themes, such as family history, volunteerism, endangered animals, and chemistry.
