Events

What happens when teens throw an event in a contemporary art museum? Or organize an exhibition? Come find out! Teens take over the museum to host a variety of events all year long. Join us on the dance floor at a teen night, discuss art in our gallery, create with artists, and more!
A performer stands on a dimly lit stage facing an audience. The audience is mainly in darkness, with multiple small lights like phone screens illuminating the seating area, creating a starry effect. The stage has a purple spotlight on the performer.
