On Tuesday night, the Whitney Museum of American Art opened its doors after hours for its annual Art Party\u2014a staple event for New York City\u2019s creative crowd. Hosted by the Whitney Contemporaries, the event drew a mix of artists and industry insiders to Gansevoort Street to peruse the galleries and let loose on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Art Party was supported by co-chairs Ego Nwodim<\/a>, Steven Beltrani, Micaela Erlanger,<\/a> Martine Gutierrez, and Emma Safir. The host committee also featured industry names including ELLE\u2019s digital director Claire Stern Milch, Sophie Elgort, Jennifer Fisher<\/a>, Gabrielle Richardson, and Andrew Taylor, among others.<\/p>\n

Familiar faces from the worlds of fashion and pop culture, including Martha Stewart and Jessel Taank, were among those spotted at the museum. The evening unfolded across the Whitney\u2019s public spaces, with guests moving through the packed dance floor as DJs Ra\u00fal de Nieves and The Dare took turns behind the decks.<\/p>\n

Bold, expressive style was the unofficial dress code of the evening, and attendees leaned in accordingly\u2014vivid prints, unexpected color pairings, and statement silhouettes dominated the room. Drinks and passed bites circulated throughout the lobby as guests explored the museum\u2019s exhibitions between sets, and the festivities continued late into the night.<\/p>\n

The Art Party also serves a greater purpose: Proceeds from the event benefit the Whitney\u2019s Independent Study Program, which supports emerging postgraduate artists and curators working across a range of disciplines.<\/p>\n
