CULTURE CLUB

On May 16, the Whitney Museum of American Art hosted the 2023 Whitney Gala and Studio Party, which honored groundbreaking artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, philanthropist Nancy Poses, and Whitney trustee Thomas E. Tuft. The gala kicked off with cocktails and a seated three-course dinner by Olivier Cheng on the museum’s sixth floor before guests headed down to the lobby for the Studio Party. A lively set by DJ The Dare kept guests dancing until the early morning, as did a selection of smooth Maestro Dobel Tequila cocktails. Notable attendees include Antwaun Sargent, Christopher John Rogers, Lindsey Welgos, Taofeek Abijako, Beverly Nguyen, Rowan Blanchard, Emily Dawn Long, and more.
