Senior Center Partners

Since 1994, the Whitney Museum has partnered with a select number of diverse, community-based senior organizations to offer a unique range of programs and resources for older adults at the Museum and off-site. The Whitney continues to offer its resources to this established base of community partners, many of which are members of the United Neighborhood Houses.

Participation in all Senior Programs is limited to the list of Partners below.

Seniors who are members of these centers and who are interested in participating in a Whitney senior program should speak to the director of their center.
