Make art, make friends, and have fun!
Youth of all ages are welcome. GSA/QSA advisors and other supporting adults are welcome, too.
Admission is FREE!
If you’ve come to POWER UP before, please note that the museum is under construction. Our spaces and activities will be a little different this year and they will be awesome! Have a snack before you come because all the action will be in the galleries and we can’t have food there. We can’t wait to see you!
