Celebrate design, performance, and play at Poster House’s Drink and Draw: Drag Cabaret, inspired by the exhibition Love & Fury: New York’s Fight Against AIDS. The evening, led by instructor A.E. Kieren and hosted by Junior Mintt, will feature three live drag models, including Junior herself.
Guests will spend the first 90 minutes sketching drag performers as they move to cabaret music through a series of expressive poses and unique costumes. After a short break, the night will shift into a 30 minute cabaret set—when the performers will take to the stage and share their artistry!
All skill levels are welcome and all materials will be provided. Admission includes a complimentary cocktail from Café des Affiches.
This program is suitable for attendees aged 21 and over.
