Member Nights
Reimagine what the Whitney can be with an after-hours celebration that’s just for Members.
At Member Nights, you can enjoy in-depth access to our exhibitions and unique chances to get creative, inspired by works on view. Occurring about six times per year, your Member Nights are an ongoing Members-only opportunity to experience the galleries in a new light, connect with fellow art lovers, and soak up the atmosphere. While there is no right way to explore the Museum throughout the evening, read on to learn more about some of our favorite experiences.
All Members are invited to these special evenings and the invitation is for two. Not a Member? Join online or call (212) 570-3641.
