#AboutLastNight: All the Cool Kids Were at the Whitney Art Party

The Whitney Museum’s Art Party is one of those hotly anticipated happenings made for millennial New Yorkers about town. The annual affair, which this year was underwritten by Birkenstock, is hosted by Whitney Contemporaries, a group of young leaders and art patrons who play an important role in fulfilling the museum’s mission of supporting American art—a gig that also involves throwing fun parties. There’s a charitable component woven in, too, as proceeds benefit the Whitney’s Independent Study Program and other education initiatives, all in all, giving stylish new meaning to art smart.
