The "Whitney Museum Slide Talks" senior arts program includes a preview of upcoming Whitney Museum exhibitions and provides seniors with an alternative learning activity experience.
A museum educator provides seniors with an illustration of works of art, placing them in historical context, and engages seniors in a dialogue about the topic.
The "Whitney Museum" partners with community-based senior organizations to create customized senior arts programs. The goal is to challenge seniors to actively engage with the Whitney's collection and exhibitions, share ideas, and relate what they learn to their own lives and experiences.
