Mexico City has a vibrant arts scene and the LGBT+ community are often at the forefront of the arts. There are many galleries, museums and theaters that feature LGBT+ artists and performers and have themes relevant to the LGBT community.
The visual arts scene explodes in February with the Zonamaco and Material Art Fairs which bring in international artists and galleries and the local gallery scene responds with a huge number of openings and events.
While you'll find drag shows at many bars you'll also find more elaborate performances at the cabarets and performance venues listed below.
