Join us for Lavender Night, the first ever queer teens night created by the Studio Museum’s Teen Leadership Council (TLC). Lavender Night is a safe space for queer teens to share their stories, meet other members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and understand the positive ways that individuals with different experiences can come together and learn more about each other. For the event, TLC will host an art making event where participants will learn about the history of Harlem ballroom culture, drag performance, and take part in making their own accessories celebrating their queer identity and creativity.
