Join us for the School of Drag 2021 finale, a showcase featuring performances from our 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. Warhol pioneered the representation of gender nonconformity and the use of drag queens in both his film and other artworks and embraced this LGBTQ+ community cultural practice as an avenue of creative expression.
