The Whitney Museum of American Art’s annual Staff Art Show returns this fall with Artists At Work, on view from October 9 through November 2. The exhibition will feature artworks from the Museum’s talented and creative staff on display at Westbeth Gallery, just a few blocks away from the Whitney.

From its origins in Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney’s Greenwich Village studio in 1914 to its relocation to the Meatpacking District in 2015, the Whitney Museum has always sought to support living artists at critical moments in their careers. Many of the Museum’s staff members, who make the Museum’s exhibitions, programs, publications, and day-to-day operations possible, are artists themselves and participate in the annual showcase.

For the eighth year, the Whitney’s Staff Art Show will be held in a public space, offering staff an opportunity to share their work and deepen connections with one another as well as a wider audience. This year’s exhibition will include the work of over seventy artists, presenting a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, printmaking, collage, and video, and reflecting the diversity of artistic practice among the Whitney’s talented staff.

Artists At Work is organized by Katie Fong, Curatorial Assistant, and Antonia Pocock, Curatorial Assistant, with colleagues from various departments throughout the Museum.

The exhibition is free and open to the public at Westbeth Gallery, 55 Bethune Street Westbeth main entrance) New York, NY 10014,

ABOUT THE WHITNEY
The Whitney Museum of American Art, founded in 1930 by the artist and philanthropist Gertrude
Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), houses the foremost collection of American art from the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Mrs. Whitney, an early and ardent supporter of modern
American art, nurtured groundbreaking artists when audiences were still largely preoccupied
with the Old Masters. From her vision arose the Whitney Museum of American Art, which has
been championing the most innovative art of the United States for ninety years. The core of the
Whitney’s mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit American art of our time and
serve a wide variety of audiences in celebration of the complexity and diversity of art and culture
in the United States. Through this mission and a steadfast commitment to artists, the Whitney
has long been a powerful force in support of modern and contemporary art and continues to
help define what is innovative and influential in American art today.

Whitney Museum Land Acknowledgment
The Whitney is located in Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenape. The name
Manhattan comes from their word Mannahatta, meaning “island of many hills.” The Museum’s
current site is close to land that was a Lenape fishing and planting site called Sapponckanikan
(“tobacco field”). The Whitney acknowledges the displacement of this region’s original
inhabitants and the Lenape diaspora that exists today.

As a museum of American art in a city with vital and diverse communities of Indigenous people,
the Whitney recognizes the historical exclusion of Indigenous artists from its collection and
program. The Museum is committed to addressing these erasures and honoring the
perspectives of Indigenous artists and communities as we work for a more equitable future. To
