Opening Tuesday, May 1: The Second Annual Sex Worker Visions PLUS One Sex Work Nation Under Dildo
Arena Studios, 407 Broome St, ste 7A (between Centre and Lafayette Streets)
$pread magazine announces its second annual show of sex worker art, in a benefit art exhibition and silent auction, which will include an opening night gala gathering of sex workers and their allies. Sex Worker Visions will feature art work made by sex workers and/or about sex work ”Sex work” can be interpreted broadly. Erotic images will not take precedence over non-erotic images, in either case, explicitness is welcome.
For the non-artists or otherwise creative types among us, $pread invites sex workers to paint, mutilate, or otherwise decorate sex toys for inclusion in our second annual exhibition of sex worker art. This part of the show, called One Sex Work Nation Under Dildo, will feature pieces from around the country that were painted during salons hosted by local sex positive shops.
