The Rochester Art Center and Ethan Mundt (aka Utica Queen), Southeast Minnesota’s own star of Season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, invite you to celebrate the opening of Homecoming Queen, a first-of-its-kind exhibition that immerses visitors to the wonderful world of Utica Queen via fashion and photography.

Along with an exclusive performance by Utica Queen, fellow contestant of Season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Joey Jay, will also be attending and performing.
Find out more about the exhibition, and keep up with Utica via her official Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts.
In the spirit of the exhibition, gender-nonconforming attire is encouraged. Feel free to be YOU, honey!
