Open to all ages

How might you combine materials into a collection that remembers or memorializes someone or something special to you? 

Stop by the ArtSpace for a free artmaking program honoring artist Agosto Machado, whose work is on view on Floor 6 as part of Whitney Biennial 2026. Participants are invited to assemble mixed materials to create commemorative items inspired by Machado's shrines and altars. Supplies will be provided, and no previous art experience is required—everyone is welcome.

Admission is free to all visitors every Friday evening from 5–10 pm. In addition to artmaking, join us for world-class exhibitions of contemporary American art, cocktails with views at Studio Bar, and more.
