Recurring Event LGBTQ+ Youth Prom: Once Upon a Midnight

An excited crowd of young people fill the high-ceilinged lobby of The Andy Warhol Museum. They are dressed up in suits and gowns. The silver pillars of the room have decorative flags strung between them. On each pillar there is a flag representing gay, trans, genderqueer, and bi pride. The crowd is blurry, as if they are dancing.

Join us for the fifth annual LGBTQ+ Youth Prom, one of the only LGBTQ+ Youth Proms in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Prom night is often considered a milestone in the life of a young person. Our LGBTQ+ Youth Prom is an affirming space where every young person can make memories that last a lifetime. This unique annual event draws hundreds of young people from throughout the region for an evening of radical acceptance, fun, and creativity.

Entry to Prom includes a sit-down dinner, dancing, silkscreen printing, and other activities. Prom is open to youth ages 13-20 years old.
