From the Whitney Museum of American Art

Special Event: Wednesday, November 15
7:30–9:30 pm

College and graduate students are invited to join the museum for evening celebrating Henry Taylor: B Side. After the Museum closes for the day, explore the work of a contemporary artist whose practice spans empathetic portrayals of family and community members, icons of politics and music, and sharp social criticism in encounters with racism, policing, and American history. The exhibition is on view thru–Jan 28, 2024.

Attendees can connect with fellow students while exploring Taylor’s work and stop by for an in-gallery conversation about the show with the Whitney’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows, then create their own artwork inspired by what they’ve seen in a workshop with Teaching Artist Jaqueline Cedar. Fragments of a Faith Forgotten: The Art of Harry Smith, Inheritance and Trust Me will also be on view. Students can also stop by the Sondra Gilman Study Center to see more of the Whitney’s collection up-close and learn more about the Museum’s research facilities.

RSVP is required for this special celebration. This program is free for undergraduate and graduate students with Student ID or Whitney Student Membership Card. A limited number of additional individual tickets are available for purchase.
