CALL FOR ART IS NOW CLOSED FOR OCTOBER 2019

PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE US ASKING IF YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL!  If you are successful you will hear from us.

Submissions for 2020 will open in February 2020.

If you are an artist that wants to get your artwork seen, London’s Erotic Art exhibition is a great place to start! We want to hear from up and coming artists in the erotic art genre who want the chance to be part of something different, for exposure and to hopefully sell work.

Please note, this is an international art show based in London. So if you are anywhere in the world, we want to hear from you! For 2018 we had artists flying in from Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, USA, Germany, Holland, France, Canada, Italy, Brazil and more! Everyone is welcome!

We will be posting about the call for art on this website, as well as on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. If you are on the mailing list, we will also send an email out about the call for art being open. Sign up below to get notifications to your inbox.
