Our Erotic Heritage
Erotic art has been an essential part of being gay
for the past 30 plus years. One of the main elements of what makes the
homo community so special and unique is that our sexuality has brought
us together — and it is what makes us stand apart. Tom of Finland Foundation
events foster the continuation of this value that is vital to the preservation
of our tribe.
Bring your friends, neighbors and associates to the
Erotic Art Fair. What we create is at the cultural core of our community
of queers. Be inspired by the creativity. Be a mentor and share our glory.
— Durk Dehner, President & Cofounder, ToFF

Our Future: Homotopia or NOT
Hosted by Durk Dehner & Rick Castro
As native tribes
use their medicine men
for guiding them through their journeys
safely — so as it is with our artists seeing
into the future and guiding our tribe. They
feel us and know our spirits. Laying their
visions down in texture and color telling
visual stories within their art.
The attending artists each will be invited
to share through their window into the
future, our hopes and fears of life as a culture,
and a community. This will be taped, and be
part of a presentation sent to the top 100
most influential individuals world-wide in
our own community. (Artists and the public
are encouraged to participate by listing who
they consider to be in that top 100 listing.)
