GLOW UP

The Figge's Official Public Party

Saturday, May 17 | 7PM - 10 PM | Free to the public

Glow where you want—inside the museum or out on the Plaza. The Free Public Party kicks off at 7:00 p.m. with an indoor/outdoor party. Enjoy free admission to the Figge's galleries until 8:30 p.m. Explore the exhibitions, dance to a live DJ in the lobby, and capture the moment in a photobooth.

Outside, the celebration continues until 10:00 p.m. Join us on the plaza for live music and entertainment, food vendors, a community art project, and more! At 8:45 p.m., experience the unveiling of Evanescent Field—a once-in-a-century moment as the Figge becomes the Midwest's newest landmark of light.
