Night at the Whitney | 9.5.25

Friday, September 5, 2025 
6:00 PM → 10:00 PM

We live in a city with some of the greatest art in the world right in our city– from historically renowned masterpieces or provocative, emerging contemporary works. Join us for a self-guided tour at one of the city’s most iconic museums.

The Spot: The Whitney was created to spotlight voices that weren’t getting their due. Today, the collection spans over 4,000 artists from Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keeffe to Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alexander Calder, and Faith Ringgold.

Your ticket includes: A self-guided tour with fellow Closer members. Wander through the galleries, sip a drink, catch special programming and music, take in rooftop views, and see where the art takes you.

What to Know:

• Group Chat: We’ll drop you into a private GroupMe thread the day before—your backstage pass to the night. And while there’s no facilitator, one of your fellow members (your Plan Captain) is the go-to for keeping things rolling. Basically, they’ve got the map, but you’re all writing the adventure.
• Sign up as a Plan Captain: Captains are Closer’s go-to person for small tasks that make group plans run smoothly—like grabbing tickets, finding the meetup spot, or keeping the conversation going. No need to facilitate—just show up, enjoy, and help things flow. Plan Captains get 25% off Closer Plans events.
• BYO Friend: Grab two tickets (for yourself and a friend, Closer member or not) for 20% off—just share their name, email address, and phone number at registration.
