Work at the Whitney
The Whitney collects, preserves, interprets and exhibits American art in the broadest context. We value diversity in every aspect of our mission: starting with the art collection we build and preserve, and extending to the histories we write through exhibitions and programs, the audiences who engage with the museum and provide context and meaning for everything we do, and the staff whose voices and experiences shape our work.
Our Values
The Whitney is committed to creating a work environment where staff, interns, and volunteers of different races, ethnicities, ages, gender identities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic backgrounds, immigration status, and disability status feel not just welcome, but fully included and able to bring their own experiences and aspirations to their work.
Opportunities at the Whitney
Whitney staff possess a wide range of skills, knowledge, and interests, and come from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds. Full- and part-time opportunities include roles related to exhibitions and programs, administration, visitor services, and much more. We encourage you to apply for any position that aligns with your interests, experience, abilities, or goals.
Benefits
The Whitney is a great place to work and offers an excellent benefit package including health insurance, generous paid time off, a 403(b) retirement plan, and free admission to many museums in New York City and nationally.
