UPDATE ON ADMISSION FROM THE WHITNEY MUSEUM

 

New York, NY, July 11, 2023 — The Whitney Museum of American Art is adjusting ticket prices beginning July 13, 2023.

The changes, which coincide with the start of the Museum’s new fiscal year, are:

 

Base adult ticket price increasing from $25 to $30

Tickets for seniors (65+) and students increasing from $18 to $24

The adjustments—the first since 2016—will help keep the institution and its mission to support art and artists strong in a landscape acutely changed by a variety of factors, including inflation, rising costs, and still-recovering attendance.

 

The Whitney continues to offer a robust suite of growing free and discounted offerings, including:

 

Free admission and programs for visitors 18 and under, always

Pay-what-you-wish admission every Friday night from 7 PM to 10 PM

Free admission for active military and veterans

Free admission for SNAP/EBT cardholders

Free admission for IDNYC cardholders on select dates Discounted admission ($18) for visitors with disabilities, with free admission for one care partner. Full list of access services here.

Free admission to exhibitions on view in the Whitney’s lobby gallery

Visitors 18 and under can participate in Open Studio art-making programs for free on most weekends

 

“Whitney Free Days” that are tied to programming. The Whitney recently offered universal free admission and special programming on April 22 in celebration of Earth Day. The event “sold out,” with over 80 percent of tickets reserved by first time visitors to the Whitney. The special Free Open Studio art programs for children saw attendance nearly triple during this Whitney Free Day.

 

The Whitney is also currently not altering the price of membership. Members receive unlimited free admission to the museum, discounted tickets for guests, and discounts at the Museum store and restaurants, among other benefits. Memberships can be purchased for as low as $5 a month for students and seniors, and $7.50 a month for individuals. In the coming year, the Whitney is offering a series of exciting exhibitions, including Henry Taylor: B Side, the first exhibition to survey the career of leading Los Angeles based contemporary artist Henry Taylor, and the 81st Whitney Biennial, the Whitney’s showcase of the most relevant art and ideas of our time featuring contemporary artists working across media and disciplines, representing the evolving notions of American art.

 

The Museum is currently sharing the work of two visionary artists in two landmark exhibitions: Jaune Quick-To-See Smith: Memory Map celebrating five decades of artwork by groundbreaking Indigenous artist Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, and Josh Kline: Project for a New American Century, the first U.S. museum survey of Josh Kline’s work, spanning 15 years and including the debut of installations and moving image works that address the urgency of the climate crisis. The exhibition Inheritance also just opened and features new and rarely-seen artworks from the Whitney’s collections that trace the profound impacts of legacy and the past across familial, historical, and aesthetic lines.

 

The ticket adjustments go into effect on July 13. Visitors can purchase tickets at whitney.org or at the Museum under the current price structure until then—including advanced tickets for dates through mid-July.
