About The Whitney Museum of American Art

At the heart of all Whitney Education programs is a focus on artists—their materials, methods, and inspirations. As educators, we create opportunities for visitors with different needs, experiences, and interests to make meaningful connections with the art on view. With the intrepid spirit of the artist in mind, we challenge ourselves and our audiences to think creatively, embrace new ideas, and consider American art and culture in all its complexity.
