The Whitney Contemporaries is a dynamic group of art patrons between the ages of twenty-one and forty, committed to supporting the Whitney as the preeminent forum for American art of our time. In return for their support, Contemporaries are guaranteed exclusive access to the Whitney's unparalleled resources and the New York art scene.

Through membership dues and revenue raised through fundraising events, the Contemporaries support the Contemporary Series, an ongoing program designed to take the pulse of today's art scene by featuring recent work and commissions by emerging and mid-career artists. Besides taking advantage of our unique programming, the Contemporaries receive free admission to all exhibitions, invitations to opening receptions, reduced admission prices for public programs, and discounts at the Whitney Museum Store and Sarabeth's Restaurant at the Whitney.

Please allow 10 business days for your membership cards to arrive in the mail. For questions about the status of your membership, please call (212) 570-3641. Thank you for your support as a Whitney member!
