Share Your #WhitneyPortraits
Nov 22, 2016

In our new Whitney Stories series, artists choose portraits from Human Interest that inspire them. Now it's your turn! Share an image on Instagram of yourself in front of a favorite work. When you post, tell us why that particular portrait speaks to you and use the hashtag #WhitneyPortraits. Every week, we’ll highlight some favorites on our account.
