Families

Whitney Family Programs offer interactive tours, artmaking workshops, and special events that encourage kids and adults to learn about art together.

Outdoor Open Studio

Every Saturday, make your way to the fifth-floor outdoor gallery for socially distanced family artmaking. Drop in at any time to learn about a work on view, experiment with materials, and explore the galleries. Let’s make art all summer long!
