Seduction 2023: Monstrous
Saturday, October 21
Doors Open 8PM | 21+
It’s time for Seattle’s sexiest Halloween party! Gallery Erato is preparing to host Seduction: Monstrous – a night of music, dancing, ambient performances, and the hottest costumes to make it out of the bedroom await you!
Seduction this year offers two floors of Halloween revelry. Step into our parlor upstairs for a delightfully spooky party. You’ll rub elbows with creatures that go bump in the night (don’t worry, they’re on their best behavior) while roaming a fantastically macabre collection of art specifically curated for the season. If you’re feeling bold, head downstairs into the twisted laboratory. Bewitching beats will keep you dancing, and our bar will be mixing up the perfect cocktails and mocktails.
Please join the Pan Eros Foundation and the Seattle Erotic Art Festival at Gallery Erato on October 21. And remember, Seduction: Monstrous is a fundraiser for the 2024 Seattle Erotic Art Festival. By attending Seduction, you help make SEAF go!
An immersive performance experience
Our Mistress of Monsters, Carson St. Clair, has combed the darkest alleyways and most forgotten woods in search of something rare and terrifying. The most enthralling and alarming of these creatures will be set free in Gallery Erato for this special night. Don’t be afraid. The monsters have promised to leave all guests intact.
Hailing from Seattle, Carson is a multi-disciplinary artist, who first joined the community as a fetish and erotic art model, and has also added event producer, performance artist, and burlesque performer to her repertoire . She has been a performer at SEAF for 3 years on the main stage and as an interactive artist, and has also been a model on some of the art.
DJs to bring out your dark side
The scene: San Diego in 1993. diem moved to the beach haven after living in Australia for a year. House music was a relative newcomer to San Diego, and the beach and rock vibe would have diem rocking Richard Humpty Vission tracks the same night as AC/DC and Jimmy Buffet. That time was very influential and why he loves playing pretty much anything that gets him and the crowd dancing and smiling. diem is known for dancing behind the decks and joining the crowd mid-set.
diem resides in the PNW, having called Seattle home since 2001. He has performed in clubs and at festivals across the US, Canada, Hawaii, and Mexico. He defines his sound as “hardtribaldisco”, which is a blend of tribal Latin rhythms, hard funk, house beats, and breaks, to become the layered evil disco that gets everyone’s booty moving. This November will be his 30th year performing, so be sure to check him out and bring your boogie shoes!
Deckard is a versatile and experienced DJ who has been rocking the west coast since 2000. He started his career in Seattle, where he honed his skills and developed his eclectic taste in music. In 2005, he moved to San Francisco and immersed himself in the vibrant and diverse electronic music scene of the Bay Area. He has been a regular behind the decks at the most iconic venues in the city since then.
Deckard has been a proud member of the Space Cowboys crew since 2009. Whether he is spinning downtempo lounge, funky big beat, tech house, electro or breaks, Deckard always delivers a captivating and energetic performance that gets the dance floor shaking.
