Awards
Banquet on Saturday
At the Hyatt on Sunset 8 PM
The Foundation utilizes the weekend
of The Erotic Art Fair to acknowledge individuals within the broad
communities of the visual arts who excel with their dedication
and intense focus. We shall be recognizing such persons at our
banquet this Saturday evening at the Rooftop Vista Room —
overlooking the dazzling Sunset Strip and the panoramic night
life of Los Angeles.
Special Recognition for
Commitment and Perseverance in their Art.
There are artists who face adversity and disinterest of their work
in their home country. In order to get the necessary attention and
interest in their art, they traveled to the United States. There
they received the attention that fostered interest in their work
internationally. So it is with great pleasure we take this time
to acknowledge:
Benoit Prevot from
Paris, France
and
Palanca from Lima, Peru.
Special Recognition
for Volunteers.
Volunteers are critical to a nonprofit like the Foundation. Some
volunteers have been extensively involved with us for a lengthy
period of time. Two of these dedicated people will be honored
this evening:
Volker Morlock
and
Joe Hilton
On Going Dedication
to Protecting, Preserving and Promoting Erotic Art
Over the past 22 years, outstanding individuals have assisted and
nurtured the Foundation with their finances and business abilities.
They play a vital role in keeping the presence of erotic work in
the public arena. It is with much gratitude we honor:
Michaeljohn Horne
and
David Stern
and
John McConnell
Enjoy West Hollywood!
