Join the Burke Museum in celebrating and uplifting LGBTQIA2S+ identities through multiple floors of visitor engagement. This event is about visibility, representation, and showcasing the work and interests of queer knowledge holders working in STEAM and STEAM-supporting jobs at the Burke. Visitors of all ages are invited to come learn, connect, and be in community!
