Join us for an in-person reception and tour of the Whitney’s collection, focusing on gender and sexuality. Deaf educator Gina Marciona will lead this tour in American Sign Language. The event begins with a tour at 3:30 pm and will be followed by a wine and cheese reception from 5–6 pm in the Laurie M. Tisch Education Center. 

This tour 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.

This event is free but registration is required. Due to a limited capacity, this program is Deaf-priority, and we do not allow ASL students to attend.
