Please join us for MoMA’s bimonthly program welcoming individuals who are blind or have low vision and their guests to participate in a gallery experience. Educators highlight specific themes, artists, or exhibitions through verbal description, multisensory experiences, and discussion in the galleries or using the Zoom platform.
Together we will explore the exhibition Jack Whitten: The Messenger with teaching artist Jamie Mirabella. Spanning nearly six decades, this exhibition is the first full retrospective of Whitten’s innovative practice, featuring more than 175 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper that illuminate his singular vision. Featuring numerous works that have never before been shown, the exhibition presents the artist’s revelatory exploration of culture, race, technology, jazz, love, and war.
Registration opens on March 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
Art inSight is offered free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
For more information, please call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447 or email [email protected].
