Artists and the City: Emerging Voices in Conversation

Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at Vanderbilt University–New York City in Chelsea.

The event is the first in a series of opportunities created through the Vanderbilt–Whitney partnership, which will include internships, scholarly programming, faculty collaboration, alumni engagement, public events and other initiatives.
