New Building Project

On May 21st, in celebration of the groundbreaking for the Whitney’s new Meatpacking District location, the Museum will also be hosting a Community Day. Community Day brings the Whitney’s unique programming to the neighborhood for the day, with activities and artist collaborations for families, teens, and adults. These programs will take place at various venues throughout the neighborhood, are free, and open to the public. Stop by the tent at Washington St. and Gansevoort St. for more information!
