Interacting with a piece of art at the 2014 Festival
The Seattle Erotic Art Festival is an annual celebration of erotic expression that is about to proudly mark its 13th year. It is the backbone of the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, whose mission is to promote the many ways sex is beneficial through education, outreach, the arts, advocacy, and research programs that serve the public. This would not be possible without the generous contributions that have been made by our donors and volunteers over the years.
When you attend the Festival, you become a participant in the emancipation of sexual expression. The Festival not only purveys more erotic art than any other event, it creates a space for people to experience, grow, and to reveal, their authentic sexual selves in a public venue. Each year that space expands and evolves to help encourage the spread of sex positivity.
Creating Sex Positive Space
The Foundation leads an impressive array of programs in addition to the Festival each year. 2014 has been an exceedingly successful year with many goals achieved, including opening the Pacific Northwest Library for Sex Positive Culture to the public, and providing over a hundred exceptional educational opportunities throughout the year.
We hope that we can inspire the support of Festival goers for the Foundation and its mission to create as many opportunities as possible to further our collective erotic evolution. As we plan for and look forward to the 2015 Festival, we also are brainstorming even more ways to pursue that mission.
