Community
The Whitney’s Community Programs build sustained connections that go beyond the single museum visit, bringing art, ideas, and dialogue to classrooms, senior centers, and community-based organizations around the city.
The Whitney’s Education department has been engaged in research, outreach, and an inclusive planning process in our new neighborhood.
Sustained relationships that bring Whitney educators and artists into an organization for extended programming which promotes the Museum as an essential resource.
Study Sessions is an ongoing event series inspired by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney’s notion of study as “what you do with other people.” For each Study Session, an artist, writer, or cultural worker selects a work of art on view in the Whitney’s permanent collection galleries as a departure point for thinking through an urgent question in our contemporary political landscape.
