Beware… night is falling at the museum!
Join us for a thrilling Halloween Teen Night at the Whitney, organized by our Youth Insights Leaders. This year’s spook-tacular event is inspired by the current exhibition Sixties Surreal, a bold reimagining of American Art from 1958 to 1972 that channels the eerie, fantastical, and dreamlike spirit of the decade.
Come in costume and enjoy every corner of the museum with artist-led artmaking workshops, face painting, teen-led tours, music, dancing, snacks, and more!
This event is free for teens. Refreshments and art materials will be provided.
Whether you're a ghost, ghoul, or glamorous painter, this is your night to shine in the galleries and celebrate Halloween with friends and fellow NYC teens.
Halloween Weekend at the Whitney is an inclusive and safe celebration for all. In that spirit, we do not allow costumes that perpetuate cultural appropriation, discrimination, or violence of any kind, including fake weapons. We invite you to be inspired by the works in our collection and check out the #IAmNotACostume campaign to learn more about choosing a respectful costume.
