This year, Seattle Erotic Art Festival is proud to unveil our highest honor.

The Masters of Erotic Art program will showcase only those artists who have made
the most meaningful contributions to the history and development of erotic art.

We are pleased to induct five founding members into this prestigious showcase.
One piece from each artist will be part of our 10th anniversary event and all future Festivals.
