In White, gay white male artist Gus cranks out canvas after canvas of cream-colored paintings. He lectures at a college, receives fellowships, and lives with his boyfriend, Tanner, who is of Asian descent. Although Gus has achieved comfortable success he is, by no means, famous. When Gus learns that his best friend Jane has become senior curator at the illustrious Parnell Museum, he implores her to put him in their "New America" exhibition. Unfortunately, Jane tells him that the “New America” only wants female ethnic voices, and that there's no room for white guys. So, Gus hires Vanessa, a local African American actress, to invent a fictional artist named Balkonaé Townsend, a brash and political artist to claim his art, while also fitting the museum’s desire for “new voices”. Gus and Vanessa construct a quick, humorous backstory for her and everything is going smoothly until Balkonaé takes over and Gus has to deal with the mess he’s made.
