The Pride Episode (w/Bob the Drag Queen & Brian McQueen)

Happy Pride, Classmates, and welcome to the season finale of ART CLASS! And have we got a show for you today! We are heading into the summer purse first with this week's iconic guest, RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 winner, Bob the Drag Queen! Join us as Bob gives us their hilarious and brilliant takes on a wide array of topics from gender to drag to artistry to comedy and even gives some loving advice to all the baby queens out there. It's a chat you don't want to miss. Then it's time for one last Career Day with singer, coach and activist Brian McQueen, who shares some wisdom for anyone who wants to break into opera. Plus, the Morning Announcements with Emile and the baddest PBJ you've heard all season! So for the last time this season, take your seats, y'all, because class is in session!

And keep it locked here. We'll be back with a fresh batch of all-new episodes in the fall! Thanks for being such an integral part of our first season!
