The Whitney Art Party Goes Out of This World

On Jan. 31, the Whitney Museum of American Art hosted its fundraising event Art Party, which returned with a stellar zodiac theme. Hosted by the Whitney Contemporaries, the annual event provides crucial support to the institution’s renowned Independent Study Program. Throughout the star-studded evening, guests sipped on specialty “Margaritas in Retrograde” by Casa Dragones, dined on hors d’oeuvres by Olivier Cheng, and danced to DJ sets by Questlove and The Muses. True to the zodiac theme, astrologer Francesca Villein gave revelers individual readings while artist Devin Kenny offered limited-edition temporary tattoos. Notable guests include Karen Elson, Jennifer Fisher, Miles Greenberg, Genesis Tramaine, Chloe Wise, Kimberly Drew, and Liv Schreiber. Photos by Mike Vitelli/BFA.
