Exhibition Categories

The annual juried exhibition presents a serious study of contemporary erotica and brings to the forefront new and imaginative formats for the exploration of sex, gender, fantasy, and love.  As all artworks are limited by the 12 inches limitation for its renowned category, this means careful consideration by each artist requires a certain level of discipline due to the compression of space.  In many cases, a close examination of the artist’s aesthetic looms large in the imagination. This tininess is also a clever nod to the secretive status of erotica, and functions beautifully as a metaphor for the keyhole voyeur. 

Select artworks will be featured in an online catalog in addition to cash prizes.
