Theydies and Gentlethems! Are you ready for the Call for Art? It’s okay, we’re not either, but we’ve got two weeks! So time to bust out your sketch pads, your canvas, your keyboards, your character shoes, whatever it is you need to create because, my dearest artists, we need you.
The Call for Art will run from May 14th to June 28th! That is 46 days in which to submit to us your marvelous masterpieces of erotic art! Is it provacative? Is it sweet? Is it kinky? Is it loving? We are hungry for all of the flavors, from Vanilla to Peach Sorbet to Love Potion #31! (Have we taken this metaphor too far? Okay, we’re done.)
This year, to honor our 19th year as a festival, we will be offering an Early Bird discounted fee of $19 for submissions before June 1st. Beginning on the 1st, submissions fees are $38. Your fee allows you to submit up to 5 works to the festival. This year we are pleased to offer a scholarship program for BIPOC and gender non-conforming artists. (If you, gentle reader, are not an artist, but would like to contribute, kindly consider donating to our scholarship program.) As always, there is no submission fee for artists who live and create outside of North America.
Now, things will be a little different this year, primarily in the areas of Installations and Performance. We’re still ironing that out, but our blanket advice for now is to consider things that are no contact, or low contact but easily cleaned and allows for safety measures (like gloves). More information is forthcoming, we promise.
Are you excited? We’re excited! A breakdown of our fees and deadlines, along with some handy information and frequently asked questions, can be found here. We can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this year!
