In a little under four years at the Whitney Museum of American Art, my small but mighty team (Taylor! Alice!) hosted well over 350k attendees at member events, Free Friday Nights, and a slew of other gatherings. From intimate tours and gallery walks to full-museum celebrations, we connected members and visitors with art and artists, provided opportunities for people to create something of their own, and evolved the Whitney as a space that’s for communing with others in addition to seeing great art. We worked with so many talented artists, performers, and speakers and hopefully made the museum feel a little more welcoming along the way.
It’s a rare opportunity to build something brand-new within an established institution, so I’m so proud to have led the programming and operations build-out of the Whitney’s Free Friday Nights alongside my thoughtful, brilliant, and cool-under-pressure colleagues. I believe deeply that art is for everyone, and developing this program which has welcomed thousands of people into the museum for the first time, diversified the Whitney’s audiences to more closely reflect the city we live in, and opened new lines of collaboration with artists and community organizations is work I am grateful to have been a part of.
As of one month ago, I’ve shifted into a period of focusing on my own art practice, independent projects like Circling, and event production / project management work for creative organizations but I certainly intend to bring this ethos along with me. Art is for the people ❤
As we round out 2025 and enter the new year, I’d love to host folks for studio visits or to grab coffee to hear about what you’re working on. Please send me a message or email, and we can get something scheduled soon.
