Corporate Membership

To be at the forefront of contemporary American art requires imagination and commitment—the same kind of imagination and commitment it takes to create and sustain an enterprising corporation. Whatever the nature of your business, the Whitney can be your resource, providing a direct connection between your corporation and artistic expression.

Moreover, your support of the Whitney through Corporate Membership enables the Museum to continue its mission to provide a diverse public audience with access to American art and culture.

Your contribution helps the Whitney:

  • Provide education programs that impact over 100,000 children, adults, and seniors each year
  • Grant free admission to children and teens throughout the year
  • Give free guided tours to hundreds of NYC public school groups annually
  • Extend free arts education programming to hundreds of teens from diverse backgrounds and neighborhoods
  • Offer pay-what-you-wish admission every Friday night
  • Support the careers of thousands of emerging, mid-career and established artists
