There are only a few things that could improve Hirshhorn After Hours. One is unicorns. The other is drag queens. Guess which idea the museum decided to go with? This Friday, Hirshhorn After Hours returns with special guest host Summer Camp, everyone’s favorite neighborhood drag queen. In addition to Ms. Camp, the museum’s summertime soirée will also include performances by Karl Marks, Brandon Joseph Neukam and Sunrize Highway, as well as the DJ stylings of Matt Bailer and Bil Todd.

As usual, cocktails will flow, socialites will dance, and world-class art will be appreciated. Make sure to get there early if you want a full museum tour: though the party runs from 8pm to 12pm, exhibits close at 10pm. Don’t forget, it’s one of your last chances to see the Black Box exhibit before it ends on August 1st.

Tickets are $18, and can be ordered by phone, online, or in person at IMAX® box offices. They are not available at the door, so use the next two days to plan ahead before the event sells out.
