Join us for the return of Older Adults Day at the Whitney! Older adults are invited to visit the Museum during special hours open only to them and enjoy special programming.

The day kicks off with a welcome breakfast from 9:30–10:30 am co-sponsored by Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, Congressman Dan Goldman, Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, Assembly Member Deborah Glick and Council Member Erik Bottcher. Join your neighbors for a light buffet breakfast before exploring the Museum. Breakfast is free but advance registration is requested. Register today online here.

During this event attendees are invited to explore the Museum’s galleries on their own or participate in a free guided tour of the groundbreaking Edges of Ailey exhibition. In addition, guests are invited to enjoy exploring Survival Piece #5: Portable Orchard and ask Whitney Museum experts about the trees.

This day will also feature drop-in artmaking and a special Alvin Ailey Dance Class: AileyDance for Active Aging from 11 am–12 pm. Join us for dance and conversation and learn about Alvin Ailey’s masterwork Revelations.
