Drag artists over the age of 21 who live in San Francisco are encouraged to apply no later than Feb. 16. The ideal candidate is skilled in the art of the serve and has the chops of a party planner.
The application deadline has been extended for a glamorous new position that's a first in the nation: Drag Laureate.
"San Francisco would not be the beacon for LGBTQ rights it is without drag artists,” said Supervisor Rafael Mandelman."This program is an appropriate recognition of the essential role drag plays in our queer culture, and I look forward to seeing who will be named our first Drag Laureate." The ideal candidate is skilled in the art of the serve and has the chops of a party planner. "Fundamental" knowledge of The City's drag culture and the desire to"show love and enthusiasm for San Francisco" are a must, according to the job description.
Applicants will be vetted by a committee of LGBTQ organizations, led by the Human Rights Commission and the San Francisco Public Library. Mayor London Breed will crown the winner.
