Through creativity, humour, glitter and glam, Art Simone has claimed her position at the forefront of the Aussie entertainment industry. Slaying stereotypes, celebrating differences and tirelessly promoting social inclusion, Art has helped move drag from margin to mainstream and she's just getting started!

An in-demand live performer from the very beginning, Art's quintessential style and humour has delivered an incredible fanbase. Performing professionally for over a decade, Art is not only a dynamic live performer but an in demand media personality and social media powerhouse. She’s won titles, worked with some of the world's biggest brands, has been globally celebrated for her incredible make-up looks, and launched WOWPresents Plus series ‘Highway To Heel! This was all before RuPaul’s Drag Race came knocking.

Starring in the inaugural season of Stan’s ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’, Art’s talent was shared with a whole new audience and she immediately became a fan favourite. Bringing unique looks, showcasing her incredible talent and delivering the ultimate one-liners. As the series’ runner-up, she’s since welcomed her new fans, jumped into major Australian and international touring, guested on ‘Have You Been Paying Attention’, ‘Would I Lie To You’ and even featured in the 7/Netflix reboot of 'Kath & Kim'!

Embracing creativity in all its forms Art launched podcast 'Concealed with Art Simone' with iHeart. The show is now enjoying its third season along with three ACRA and two Australian Podcast award nominations.
