Teen Takeover is an all-teen event where WACTAC hosts teens throughout the metropolitan area at the Walker. For high school students only. ID required for entry.
To help us promote future events and programs, this event will be documented with photography. By attending, you consent to appear in this documentation and its future use by the museum.
