Restore the power of creativity and the innocent discoveries of childhood.
And open to the world of (erotic) art. With an infusion of sensuality and an array of activities, Rm. 1618 provides a place where visitors to Seattle Erotic Art Festival can be with, and be-come, artists.
Each day, some of our featured artists are using the space as their studio, and are delighted to talk about their work and answer your questions.
Hands-on events and activities, for all.
These range from erotic, love-letter writing to developing a provocative cartoon character. “Brush Strokes” has you painting risqué art that is yours to take home. Explore the art and experience of restraint from a new point of view – watch, or join in, our life drawing sessions that feature bondage – including ropes and strait jackets. Learn, from both sides of the camera, how to elicit that human verity that contains the true sexy. And, at midnight, the naughty-craft-making begins.

All activities are free with festival admission, except for “Brush Strokes” which requires its own ticket. Almost all activities are available during our Gallery Hours when the 18+ crowd can partake. See our Festival schedule for days and times of activities.
Rm. 1618 is a sanctuary for the exploration of erotic art.
Whether you are perplexed by the very notion of erotic art, or you are erotic art, join forces with those of your ilk. Open up to making erotic art where you haven’t before – and grow a community, for the duration of the Festival, and beyond.
