Two years ago, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City launched a special partnership with the Alvin Ailey Progressive Dance Company and the local community. The Whitney, renowned for showcasing innovative artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, has created a vibrant platform for artistic exploration and engagement.

As part of this initiative, admission to the Whitney Museum is now free for all visitors every Friday evening from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The evenings feature exclusive merchandise, live entertainment, and drink specials, making it a lively, accessible space for art lovers and newcomers alike to experience the museum’s dynamic exhibitions.
