TOM  OF  FINLAND  FOUNDATION
West Hollywood / Los Angeles
EROTIC ART FAIR WEEKEND

THE EROTIC ART EVENT OF THE YEAR!
ARTIST APPLICATION FORMS ARE ON-LINE

Details


West Hollywood / LA, CA


Erotic art has been an essential part of being gay for the past 30 plus years. One of the main elements of what makes the homo community so special and unique is that our sexuality has brought us together — and it is what makes us stand apart. Tom of Finland Foundation events foster the continuation of this value that is vital to the preservation of our tribe.

Bring your friends, neighbors and associates to the Erotic Art Fair. What we create is at the cultural core of our community of queers. Be inspired by the creativity. Be a mentor and share our glory.

— Durk Dehner, President & Cofounder, ToFF
