Join us on February 6, as we chill with a work from the Whitney’s permanent collection.
Join us on the first Friday of the month to talk about art and meet new people. Each session of Art + You is guided by a Whitney Museum Educator and invites visitors aged 18-30 to come together to reflect and exchange their perspectives on select artworks on view through close looking and dialogue. Alternating across Whitney’s galleries, each month we focus on a small selection of works for an intimate, thoughtful, and reflective experience.
Afterwards, keep the fun going by joining Free Friday Night.
