WHITNEY CONTEMPORARIES
The Whitney Contemporaries are the Museum's link to the future young leaders and patrons who will carry on the Whitney's critical mission of supporting American art. The Contemporaries keep the youthful energy of the Whitney flourishing, bolster the Museum's commitment to risk and innovation in art, and involve young leaders in the fulfillment of the Whitney's mission. In appreciation for their essential support, the Contemporaries enjoy special access to the Whitney's unparalleled resources and the New York art scene through curator-led tours, gallery walks, and visits to private collections, artists' studios, and contemporary art fairs.
INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM & WHITNEY EDUCATION
The Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program (ISP) was founded forty years ago as an innovative, alternative approach to the education of young curators, art historians, and critics. The ISP is widely known and respected in both the art and academic communities in the U.S. and throughout the world. The ISP provides a unique setting for the critical study of the diverse practices, discourses, and institutions that constitute the fields of artistic and cultural production.
Established in 1966, the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Education Department is committed to exploring new approaches to education for all age groups and to developing interdisciplinary, multidimensional programs and materials. Educational programs and resources are designed to make the Whitney's world-renowned collection of American art and its comprehensive exhibition program accessible to multiple audiences.
