Visual Art Exhibition
The 2011 art exhibition will feature up to 300 works of art selected by curators and jurors. Selected art will be showcased throughout the three-day event to thousands of patrons. The Festival sells more art than any other erotic art festival, and stands by its mission to support living artists with low submission fees and competitive commission rates. All exhibiting and invited artists are also featured in the Festival Store.
The jury will select pieces based on: quality of execution, depth of emotion, originality of subject, and thought provoking elements that instigate conversations about sexuality, erotica, art, and/or societal mores.
A different and new Festival jury is appointed every year, with careful consideration. To increase diversity of the selected art, the jury consists of an erotic artist, an art professional, an art collector, a sex positive activist, and a Festival committee member. Art is selected by a blind jury; jurors never know whose work they are reviewing during the process. Unknown and famous artists alike are given equal consideration and opportunity.
The 2011 jury consists of artist and Art Department Chair of Cornish College Bonnie Biggs; art historian and erotic art expert Gene Burt; sex positive activist and Deputy Director of Gay City Peter Jabin; artist and art collector Steve Jensen; and artist and Festival committee member Nina Ruchirat.
