Amy- Although I do not have a museum job right now I am also always on the lookout for exciting art events that cater to my age group (mid 20s) In Louisville, a group of artists from the University of Louisville started "underground" art parties. One of the artists owns warehouse space where he lives and works. On the weekends those that are interested are invited to the parties to view his work and the works of his fellow artists. While this sounds like a typical gallery opening it is not. The atmosphere is more relaxed and it feels more like a party. Many people in their 20s feel uncomfortable in a typical gallery setting. This is a way for these artists to showcase their work and have a good time. I hope this helps.
