Little ghosts and goblins love to get creative, too! Celebrate Halloween together and make new memories with great art. Complete a mysterious scavenger hunt through Edward Hopper’s New York for a chance to win exciting prizes, join Time Management Techniques artist Corin Hewitt for photo-based mask-making in the Artspace, and complete other hands-on family artmaking activities throughout the Museum. Don’t forget to wear your costume and strike a pose in our special Halloween photo booth!

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.
