Feeling Inquisitive? Ask the Whitney!
January 16, 2014
Hi to all you western art lovers out there.
Things are kickin’ at the Whitney as we gear up to start rotating out our art and prepare for the spring season with two new exhibitions. (Yay!) In the meantime, I thought I’d put a call out for all the queries, questions, concerns, or shout-outs that you’d like to share with me and our curator Mindy Besaw.
We will take the time to go through them and answer you to the best of our ability in a follow up post next week! Sound like fun? Let the querying begin!
