SEEKING ARTWORK! This year SWLAE will be open to all artists in the national leather/bdsm community. SWLC is about heart and spirit and we want to showcase the artistic expressions of that in its many forms. Artwork does not have to be kink-related or erotic in nature, though those subjects are welcome.

DEADLINE: The deadline for submission is October 31st, 2007. A pre-selected panel will review all artwork, and selected pieces will be displayed as part of the Southwest Leather Conference 2008.

SUBMISSIONS: Submission information can be found on the SWLC website at
http://www.southwestleather.org

WE ARE ALSO SEEKING SPONSOR FOR OUR ARTISTS’ RECEPTION
We are currently seeking an individual, group or organization who is willing to sponsor an "Artists' Reception" to give attendees a chance to talk with the artists in one place.

FOR MORE INFO: Questions about submissions, guidelines and sponsors can be sent to leatherartists@hotmail.com

ABOUT SWLC

Now in its sixth year, Southwest Leather Conference has become known as "The Leather Family Gathering of Heart and Spirit." Gathering over 600 Leatherfolk and BDSM Lifestylers from all over North America, SWLC offers a deep, meaningful and creative experience of Leather and BDSM through the exploration of the interpersonal and spiritual dynamics of Leather & BDSM Relationships and SM Practices. SWLC also provides a vehicle for regional leather clubs, organizations, leather families and individuals to gather and celebrate the tribe of which we are all a part.

THIS YEAR'S THEME: THE QUEST

What is a quest? A call to adventure. A journey towards a goal. A seeking or pursuing of something important. A time of initiation and transformation. An encounter with the self and others. As each of us embarks on our individual quests, we find common threads that bind us all together, with our paths ultimately crossing at Southwest Leather Conference.
