Join Gelsey Bell at this special edition of Grieving & Weaving. She will present her work that thematically covers the many faces of loss through her vocals and music. Stitching together creativity and community, this knitting and crocheting group is unique for one reason: it meets in a cemetery.

Explore Green-Wood under the night sky, where the Cemetery transforms after dark. Discover the stories of remarkable New Yorkers who shaped history and culture and end the evening with rare access to the Catacombs, an underground space few ever see.
