This must-see exhibition showcases the work of Amy Sherald's famous portraits and rarely seen early paintings.

Amy Sherald is an American artist that redefined modern portraiture- culminating in the iconic portrait of the former First Lady Michelle Obama.
With her signature use of bold colors and quiet elegance, Sherald’s portraits are not only regal, but deeply inspiring and a reminder of the grace, and quiet strength that has shaped American history. This exhibit is more than a showcase, it is a journey!

I have 9 free tickets - no reservations, no complicated sign-ups, just show up!

We will meet in front of the museum at 6 pm. For those that are interested, after the exhibit, we will grab dinner at a nearby restaurant - more details to follow.

SOLD  OUT!  AMY SHERALD: THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART!

Whitney Museum of American Art

We will begin our journey on the Manhattan side of the Roosevelt Island Tram (60th and Second Avenue), which will carry us above the city skyline with breathtaking views across the East River.

Upon arrival, we will set out on a leisurely walk/hike around Roosevelt Island that includes lots of parks and historic architecture, along the best waterfront views in New York City.

Roosevelt Island is a serene oasis that has a very vibrant and complex past that is deeply embedded in the history of New York City. We will view the remnants of this history - from NYC’s only landmarked ruin to the striking monument - The Girl Puzzle - which commemorates the stories of five remarkable women that endured hardship, but emerged stronger. This is just a glimpse of the many things that we will explore!

We will conclude our walk with brunch at a rooftop restaurant with Panoramic views of NYC’s skyline.

Come join the fun!
