Join us for an in-person drink and draw event inspired by Ruth Asawa: Through Line, led by Deaf educator Joyce Hom in American Sign Language. The event will include artmaking activities inspired by Ruth Asawa’s ink drawing and stamping practices, and will be held in the Whitney Museum’s Susan and John Hess Family Theater. 

This event will be in ASL and will not have voice interpretation. To request interpretation for Tactile, Protactile, International Sign Language, another language, or additional accommodations, including Braille, please email accessfeedback@whitney.org or call (646) 666-5574 (relay calls welcome) with two weeks’ notice.

Due to a limited capacity, this program is Deaf-priority and we do not allow ASL students to attend.
