Scott Rothkopf, director of the Whitney Museum, emphasized the importance of making art accessible, stating, "The goal of free admission for those 25 and under was to remove the barriers that keep people away from the museum. Affordability is one, he said. New York is expensive in so many ways for everyone. We know there are people who cannot afford to come to the Whitney."
Rothkopf noted, "There are some people who maybe could afford to come to the Whitney but might choose not to because paying for admission could mean having to scrimp on something else." This highlights the nuanced financial considerations many individuals face in an expensive city like New York.
