Join us for the School of Drag program finale, a showcase featuring performances from the School of Drag students and instructors. The Warhol’s School of Drag teaches teens the history, culture, and practice of drag and gender-bending performance over the course of a seven-week program. Andy Warhol pioneered the representation of gender nonconformity and the use of drag queens in both his film and artworks and embraced this LGBTQ+ community’s cultural practice as an avenue of creative expression.

  • Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
  • Please note that seating is first come, first served.
  • We are committed to offering inclusive, engaging experiences for people of all abilities. To request accommodations to enhance your visit, please contact access@warhol.org or call 412.237.8354.
