Westside Exposure: Whitney Staff Art Show
Sep 14–23, 2022

Westbeth Gallery, 55 Bethune Street

From its origins in Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney’s Greenwich Village studio in 1914 to its relocation to the Meatpacking District in 2015, the Whitney Museum of American Art has always sought to support living artists at critical moments in their careers. Many of the Museum’s staff members, who make the Museum’s exhibitions, programs, publications, and day-to-day operations possible, are artists themselves. 

For the fifth time in its history, the Whitney’s Staff Art Show will be held in a public space, offering staff an opportunity to share their work and deepen connections with one another as well as a wider audience. 

Opening Reception
Sep 14, 6–8 pm

Gallery Hours
Wednesday–Sunday, 6–8 pm
