Contemporaries members

Whitney Contemporaries are invited to visit artist Toyin Ojih Odutola (b. 1985)'s studio in the Garment District. Ojih Odutola's work explores her personal journey of moving from Nigeria where she was born and assimilating into American culture in Alabama. A current member of The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program, the artist focuses on issues of identity and the sociopolitical concept of skin color through her pen and ink drawings.

Open to Contemporaries members. Become a member, or upgrade your membership by calling (212) 570-3641. Please note: this event takes place off-site at the artist's studio. To RSVP, email contemporaries@whitney.org.
