Art is spirituality in drag.

The line suggests that art functions as a disguised form of spiritual experience: it “dresses up” inward longing, awe, transcendence, or the search for meaning in outward, sensuous forms—images, stories, performances, sounds. “In drag” implies both concealment and deliberate theatricality: spirituality is not absent from modern or secular art, but appears costumed as entertainment, style, provocation, or craft. The phrase also hints that art can be a kind of ritual or devotion without explicitly naming itself religious, allowing spiritual impulses to circulate in public culture under the cover of aesthetics.
