| SUCCESS IN THE BIG APPLE
The
Tom of Finland Foundation hosted its Second Annual New York City
Erotic Art Fair this past July, and number two was even bigger and
better than the inaugural. With 35 artists' booths, more than 50 artists
represented, and over 800 in attendance, sales topped $21,000 during
the three day weekend event. Our hosts at The Center in Chelsea were
both gracious and accommodating, and the synergy generated between the
artists and the attendees suggests that it was a cultural experience
for all concerned.
Artists
who have attended fairs in both Los Angeles and Manhattan enjoyed the
contrast between the two. Our sincere gratitude to HX Magazine,
our main media sponsor; The Center, for providing the space which
made it possible; and the Leslie-Lohman Foundation, Visual Arts,
the New York Body Archive, Wessel-O'Connor, GMSMA,
and Art@Large, all of whom assisted us by promoting the event
to their memberships. We
thank you all for your support and fellowship in this collaboration.
