Whitney Kids Art Challenge

These art projects are designed especially for kids and grown-ups to do together. All of the activities are based on works of art in the Whitney's collection. They introduce you to some of the diverse ways that artists think and work, and we hope they inspire the artist in you too! Share your creations with us using the hashtag #whitneykids. 

Come back soon! We will add more activities on a regular basis.
