Kansas City Celebrates Drag Legacy in New Mural

Kansas City just unveiled a dazzling new mural in Westport that pays tribute to 18 legendary drag performers from the city’s rich history, dating back to the 1870s. Artist Jared Horman, Creative Director at Happy Horman Designs, crafted this vibrant, Warhol-inspired pop art piece titled “If life’s a drag, Kansas City’s been living,” featuring icons like Julian Eltinge and Sandy Kay. Installed on Westport Road, the mural celebrates the city’s drag legacy during Pride Month, blending cultural homage with community spirit. Horman’s ongoing public art mission—seen in past projects like the Chappell Roan mural—continues to uplift and honor Kansas City’s queer heritage through bold, beautiful visuals.
