After graduate school at the University of Washington, with a Master’s degree in French and Music, he was awarded a Fulbright Teaching Scholarship to France, later contracted with the U.S. State Department to teach mobile cinema in the Congo Republic, and subsequently studied baroque music and harpsichord at the Amsterdam Conservatory and the Salzburg Mozarteum Academy.
From 1973 through 1981 he operated the Angus Whyte Gallery in Boston, Provincetown, New York City, and Washington, DC.
After completing the Institute of Arts Administration program at Harvard, he served as Director of Special Events at Art Center College of Design from 1983 until 1990, during which time he was active on the boards of the Brody Arts Foundation, Pacific Serenades, and the California Confederation of the Arts.
Following a sabbatical in France from 1990 through 1993, where he renovated ancient stone buildings in Périgord, Whyte returned to San Francisco where he served as development consultant to the capital campaign of the LGBT Community Center Project. From 1997 through 2012 he directed a philanthropic organization, Art for Healing, whose mission it was to collect and place original works of art in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
