Here at Tom of Finland Foundation, we are committed to keeping Tom’s vision and spirit alive: A spirit that celebrates Gay life, Homo sex, the Queer community, and the Arts.
We are asking for your support to help us keep Tom’s Foundation operating as the world-renowned collection of Homoerotic art, beacon of Tom’s legacy and spirit, sponsor of community events throughout the world, and cultural phenomenon that we all have come to know and love.
We are BUSY at TOM House! Did you know?
- TOM House invites artists to live and create in a supportive, immersive environment producing a variety of genres, including photography, ceramics, literature, and film.
- A book launched on Easter Sunday 2018 entitled Mein Schwules Auge / My Gay Eye (in both German and English) inspired by a former TOM House artist-in residence, Rinaldo Hopf.
- Tom of Finland Foundation is collaborating with the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) on an exhibition opening 19th April 2018, entitled TOM House: The Work and Life of Tom of Finland.
- Every fall, TOM House hosts an art festival showcasing international artists.
- In 2017, I was honored to receive the Leather Leadership Award from National LGBTQ Task Force.
We can’t do this work on our own. We need your ongoing commitment to help us keep Tom of Finland Foundation operating, whether as a Volunteer, a Collector, or a Member. Members are the very life blood of the Tom of Finland Foundation. We count on you to join, renew or upgrade your membership. We are very grateful for each active Member at every membership level.
With many thanks,
