This Friday, May 15, the Whitney Museum of American Art is hosting a special edition of its Free Friday Nights to honor the New York Liberty’s historic 30th season. The two iconic New York City institutions will join forces a for high-energy evening of art, athletics and community.<\/p>\n
The WNBA\u2019s New York Liberty, an original franchise of the league, is currently bringing the celebration of their three-decade milestone to fans across all five boroughs. This stop at the Whitney represents a unique combo of the city\u2019s creative and competitive spirits. From 5pm to 10pm, the museum will transform into a hub of Liberty pride, and you’re encouraged to wear your favorite Liberty gear and team colors to show your support.<\/p>\n
The evening\u2019s soundtrack will be courtesy of DJ Ty-Michelle, a New York City native known for her genre-spanning versatility and international acclaim. Starting at 6pm in the Museum\u2019s lobby, Ty-Michelle will take visitors on a musical journey, accompanied by the legendary Timeless Torches. This beloved 40-and-over dance troupe, a staple of Liberty home games at the Barclays Center, will bring their signature moves to the dance floor. And yes, you can join the party.<\/p>\n
For collectors of Liberty swag, there will be an exclusive New York Liberty mini print vending machine in the Whitney Shop. Featuring unique, risograph-printed art by Brooklyn-based artist Anastasia Inciardi, these prints are typically exclusive to the Barclays Center. For one night only, you’ll have the rare chance to snag these limited-edition pieces of basketball-inspired art at the Whitney.<\/p>\n
Beyond the Liberty festivities, the night includes a performance by Jonathan Gonz\u00e1lez titled magic hour\u2013golden time, part of the prestigious Whitney Biennial 2026.<\/p>\n
