STAFF ART SHOW 2017

Graphic by Justin Romeo

From its origins in Greenwich Village in 1914 to its relocation to the Meatpacking District in 2015, the Whitney Museum of American Art has remained devoted to living artists at critical moments in their careers. Many of the Museum’s staff members, who provide crucial support to the development, implementation, and management of exhibitions, programs, and publications, are artists themselves. For the first time, the Whitney’s Staff Art Show will be held in a public space, offering staff an opportunity to share their work with a broad public and deepen connections with the Museum’s new surrounding community. This exhibition will display over 50 works in a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, watercolor, collage, and video, reflecting the diversity of artistic practice among the Whitney’s talented staff.
