Safe·word: An Erotic Art Show

/ˈsāfwərd/

noun

1. A word serving as a prearranged and unambiguous signal to end an activity, such as between a dominant and submissive sexual couple.
2. To introduce artists from all over the world who have an indulgence to share their erotic voice in a deep dark catacomb under the city of Minneapolis. 
3. A space for erotic performers, demonstrators, and educators to showcase disciplines and knowledge centering sex, eroticism, and sexual behaviors.

Hello Artists,

We are pleased to announce that our erotic art show, SafeWord, is back for a fourth iteration. This year we are being hosted by MLX, the Modus Locus expansion in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. As in past events, this will be a one weekend only, ticketed event. Opening nights are Friday, February 9th and Saturday, February 10th, 2024.

If you are interested in participating please submit your application by November 5th, 2023. We ask for 3-5 examples of your work, however it does not have to be the piece you plan to show. If your portfolio does not contain themes of erotic art it is important to use the space provided in the form to explain your idea and intention for the piece you plan to create. Due to the limited space of the gallery, artists will only be able to show one piece. This event will be juried by an anonymous panel. Acceptance letters will be sent out by November 19th, 2023. 

If accepted, we ask for a fee of $25.00 to secure your spot in the show. See Artist Guidelines at www.oacmn.com for guidance on basic FAQs.

Submission deadline - November 5th, 2023

Acceptance letters sent - November 19th, 2023

Art drop off - February 4th, 2024
