Community Day

At the Museum

Please join us on May 16 to celebrate the completion of David Hammons's Day’s End (2014–21), a new permanent public artwork on Gansevoort Peninsula in Hudson River Park. As thanks to our community for making this project possible, the Museum will offer complimentary admission from 11:30 am–6 pm and free outdoor artmaking activities from 11:30 am–3:30 pm. Community Day is free and open to the public. Due to capacity limitations, and in compliance with health and safety regulations, visitors must reserve timed-entry tickets in advance at whitney.org.

Participants will be required to comply with all applicable COVID safety protocols. Bilingual Hammons Kids Activity Guides will be available for visitors on Gansevoort Street between Washington and West, which will be closed to traffic for the special interactive installation, Trolls Garden Gargoyles, by artist Maggie Lee. Inside the Museum, enjoy En Plein Air Drawing on the Whitney's 8th-Floor Terrace, a Drawing in Space activity on the 6th-Floor Terrace, and Cyanotype Printing on the 5th-Floor Terrace, as well as access to our spring exhibitions, including Julie Mehretu and Dawoud Bey: An American Project.
