Whitney Contemporaries
The Whitney Contemporaries is a dynamic group of art enthusiasts and collectors, ages twenty-one to forty.
Members choose from two levels of support. Contemporaries ($750 for two) can access a robust schedule of events including artist studio visits, neighborhood gallery walks, opening cocktail receptions for major Whitney exhibitions, and VIP art fair passes. Contemporaries Patrons ($1,250 for two) enjoy additional opportunities such as private collection visits, summer day trips to regional art destinations, and insider experiences with artists, curators, and tastemakers.
Get in touch with us at (212) 570-7746 or at contemporaries@whitney.org.
