Join us as we celebrate our cherished LGBTQIA+ community and local “Werks of Art” this Pride Month, in partnership with Salem’s own Miz Diamond Wigfall! This spectacular lineup features the Hometown Queeros collective of Salem drag artists, along with special guests Cain and Landon Cider (season 3 winner of the Boulet Brothers’ Dragula).
Before the evening dance party, PEM will host a film screening and panel discussion with the Hometown Queeros, featuring a runway walk by young workshop graduates from NAGLY.
