The Whitney's public programs are designed to address key issues in twentieth-century and contemporary American art and culture for a general adult audience. Through these programs, the Museum offers a unique blend of new perspectives and well-known, established voices. Artists, architects, critics, writers, and scholars are invited to participate in a wide range of courses, lectures, conversations, seminars, symposia, performances, off-site gallery and architectural tours, readings, and special programs in the galleries that respond to exhibitions on view and to broader cultural trends.
