==Independent Study Program==
The Whitney Independent Study Program (ISP) was founded in 1968 by Ron Clark.<ref>{{cite web |title=Independent Study Program |url=https://whitney.org/collection/Research/ISP |website=whitney.org |language=en}}</ref> The Whitney ISP has helped start the careers of artists, critics, and curators including [[Jenny Holzer]], [[Andrea Fraser]], [[Julian Schnabel]], [[Kathryn Bigelow]], [[Roberta Smith]], and [[Félix González-Torres]], as well as many other well-known cultural producers. The program includes both art history and studio programs. Each year, the ISP selects 14-16 students for the Studio Program (artists), 3-4 for the Curatorial Program (curators) and 6-7 for the Critical Studies Program (scholars and researchers).<ref>{{cite web |title=INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM. 40 YEARS |url=https://whitneymedia.org/assets/generic_file/142/40yrsISPbook.pdf |publisher=Whitney Museum |access-date=16 March 2025}}</ref> It is a nine-month program that includes both visiting and hired artists, art historians, and critics, and involves the reading of theory. Clark retired in 2023 and [[Gregg Bordowitz]] was selected as his replacement.
