A Full-Day Magic of Modern Art Experience at the Whitney Biennial
2026-06-07 00:00 - 23:59 UTC | Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort St, New York, 10014, United States
Robyn Jamison, is coming to New York to lead a full-day Magic of Modern Art Experience at the Whitney Biennial 2026 on Sunday, June 7th. People rave about this experience!
Robyn is an artist and the author of The Magic of Modern Art—How to Love Modern & Contemporary Art. She facilitates events that transform people’s relationship with modern and contemporary art.
She doesn’t lecture or explain the art. Instead, Robyn guides people to experience it directly, so they reawaken their natural affinity for art and see the world through new eyes. Modern and contemporary art become moving, meaningful, and surprisingly accessible.
Here’s a short video by Hilary Burns, a popular podcaster, that will give you a sense of what The Magic of Modern Art Experience provides.
Here’s what the day will include:
We’ll begin with coffee and a guided conversation (at a café near or inside the Whitney) that surfaces the subtle assumptions and mental chatter that tend to interfere with our appreciation of contemporary art. Once those are identified and dispelled, people often find themselves relating to the art with more curiosity, openness, and confidence.
From there, we’ll enter the Biennial and spend time with one or two works—slowly and in silence—with gentle guidance from Robyn. There will be opportunities to share reflections after spending time with each piece.
There will be a break for independent exploration, and we’ll reconvene in the afternoon for further focused engagement. We’ll close the day with dinner and final reflections.
I hope you can join us for what promises to be a rich and memorable day with some of the most exciting contemporary art being made today.
This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
A few practical details:
• You’ll purchase your own admission to the Whitney
• You’ll cover your own food and beverages
• Robyn’s fee for the full-day experience is $250 per person
