New York City teens are invited to an afternoon of discussion and sketching with 2019 Biennial artist Nicole Eisenman. In her artwork Procession, Eisenman explores ideas of protest and community. Combining traditional materials like bronze and plaster with sneakers, clothing, and fog machines, Eisenman builds figures that appear downtrodden yet steadfastly carry on.

Art supplies and refreshments will be provided. Bring a friend!

Free for teens. Upon entering the Museum, pick up a ticket in the lobby. Program will take place on Floor 6 Terrace.

The Laurie M. Tisch Education Center

For the first time in its history, the Whitney Museum has a dedicated space for education with the opening of the Laurie M. Tisch Education Center. Centrally located on the Museum’s Third Floor and adjacent to the Susan and John Hess Family Theater, the Education Center provides opportunities for museum educators to work in innovative ways, offering audiences drop-in programming, hands-on learning, and in-depth and interdisciplinary programming. The Laurie M. Tisch Education Center is a hub where visitors can engage with artists and enliven and enrich their museum experience.
