The West 104th Street Community Garden is proud to support the arts in our community through hosting art installations, dance and music performances, plays and related events. We are an annual host of the Make Music New York Festival and have frequently collaborated with Anna Lise Jensen’s A Lot Of Possibilities to host installations uniquely designed to take advantage of our outdoor public space.

Open Garden Day – Vickie Fremont doll making workshops!
Open Gardens Day 2021 was the first public event held in the garden since the COVID-19 lockdown and we celebrated by making dolls! Garden member and fiber artist Vickie Fremont generously volunteered to lead two workshops, making everything she does out of recycled materials.
Vickie led two workshops. “Children of all ages” were invited to participate and all ages attended.
Vickie’s work is amazing, but even greater than that is her creativity and generosity of spirit – come share in that good energy, even if it’s to stop by and see what’s going on!

Past Exhibits
Zentangle Workshop, Summer 2019
Five Smooth Stones Project, Summer 2013
An Interactive Community Art Project
For three weeks during the summer of 2013, those visiting the West 104th Street garden had the opportunity to make some art. Participants included gardener, neighbors, and garden visitors including one dog. Participants were asked to arrange five smooth stones in a 4’ x 4’ wooden frame set on the ground, take a picture of the arrangement, and email the image to a project-specific address.
The images have been gathered and arranged in a digital quilt. Enjoy it and think.
What could you do with five smooth stones?
What can you create?
