Ring in the New Year with a closer look at Fire (America) 3 (2016) by Teresita Fernández before Shifting Landscapes closes on January 25.
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.
