Recurring Event LGBTQ+ Youth Prom Planning Committee Meeting

Two teens work on art projects in the Warhol’s studio space. There are colorful pieces of paper on the tables that the young people are using to create cat ears for headbands. A screen printed image of Andy Warhol as the Cheshire cat sits on the table in the foreground.

Do you want to collaborate on planning the largest affirming prom in Western Pennsylvania? Join our Prom Planning Committee! This dynamic, inclusive group meets five times in the months leading up to our LGBTQ+ Youth Prom to collectively determine the big night’s theme, décor, and activities. Meetings take place at the museum and are open to all LGBTQ+ youth and allies ages 13–20.

We provide transportation support, food, and a Prom ticket to all Planning Committee members, whether you attend one meeting or all five. Direct any questions to teens@warhol.org

LGBTQ+ Youth Prom is Saturday, June 10, 2023.
