Whitney Staff Art Show

Offsite, free and open to the public

Westbeth Gallery
55 Bethune Street
New York, NY 10014

Wednesday–Sunday, 1–6 pm

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 seventh time in its history, the Whitney 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 public audience. 

Gallery Hours
June 29–July 17, 2024

STAFF ONLY is organized by colleagues from various departments throughout the Museum. The exhibition is free and open to the public, Wednesdays through Sundays from 1 to 6 pm, and will be part of West Side Fest, a celebration of arts and culture on the West Side of Manhattan, July 12–14.
