Warhol First Sundays: Drag Day October 5, 2008

The Wexner Center rolls out the red carpet on the first Sunday of every month, with free admission to 'Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms' for everyone plus hands-on workshops and other special events and activities to help you explore the wide world of Warhol. Activities are free and designed for visitors in their teens and up. The first 'Warhol Free Sunday' focuses on ideas about identity and the art of drag--both of which have strong connections to Warhol's work. You can investigate those connections on interactive tours, catch a poetry reading by Peter Oresick from his 'Warhol-o-rama' (a poem-by-poem serial portrait of the serial portrait pioneer) at 1 PM, or take in a special performance by some of Columbus's finest drag queens at 3:30 PM. You can also try drag yourself: make-up, wigs, and outfits will be available to try on, or you can bring your own.
