Dobel Tequila proudly sponsored the Whitney Museum’s 2026 Art Party in a bold and beautiful way.
Celebrating New York’s most vibrant night of art, fashion, and music, the beloved event brought in the elite tastemakers of Gotham. Grand guests included artists, influencers, models, celebrities, and socialites. They came out from the cold and warmed up inside for an evening of dancing, music, art, and smooth tequila cocktails.
Upon arrival, guests posed for photos in front of a step-and-repeat adorned with the Dobel Tequila logo and were welcomed with hors d’oeuvres and flutes of Dobel 50 Cristalino neat. As in year’s past, the Dobel Tequila Bar in the elevator was a highlight of the evening. It was a ride worth having before exploring the museum’s exhibits.
