Among its many exciting features, the new building will include two gallery floors entirely devoted to the Whitney s collection, cascading outdoor terraces overlooking New York s cityscape, a state-of-the-art, 170-seat theater with floor-to-ceiling views of the Hudson River, and Danny Meyer s restaurants, Untitled and Studio Cafe. Founding Corporate Members provide the critical support the Whitney needs to continue the Museum s rich legacy of showing groundbreaking exhibitions, presenting award-winning programs, and advancing the careers of the most innovative artists of our time. For their generosity, Founding Corporate Members receive exclusive, insider benefits and special access throughout the year to the Whitney s new galleries and world-class amenities from free admission for all employees to entertaining privileges, private gallery tours, and invitations to celebrations during the building s inaugural year.
