Ovation TV airing "The Art of: Drag" Feb. 4

Ovation TV, America’s only arts network, is airing a new episode of its popular original series The Art Of onWednesday, Feb. 4. The Art Of is a weekly half-hour series which focuses on a broad array of alternative and unique art forms. This season, Ovation traveled across the country for a look at eclectic art and artists in Las Vegas, at the beach, cruising the streets and in comedy clubs.

The Art Of: Drag goes behind the scenes at the Best in Drag Show, a drag pageant put on to raise money for Aid for AIDS, explores the transformation of Alaska, one of Ru Paul’s Drag Race contestants, and dives into the world of Nicole Miyahara, a documentary filmmaker who wants to put the lesser-known world of drag kings on the map.

Each episode of The Art Of profiles three artists who are creating boundary-pushing work in media that are not part of the traditional definition of “art.” Focusing on the celebrated, as well as the undiscovered, this series explores the creative process behind each featured art form and uncovers how and why these artists do what they do.

The Art Of is an Ovation Studios production. For more information, please visit www.ovationtv.com/series/the-art-of.
