I am really excited to announce that the Okanagan Erotic Art Show will go ahead in 2010. Jeff and Decoa Harder, partners in Ex Nihilo Vineyards are also art lovers – from their website: “On their first holiday together to Napa Valley and the Bay area, Jeff and Decoa came across the sculpture of Ex Nihilo at an art gallery in San Francisco. They immediately fell in love with the carving of Ex Nihilo and its translation, a Latin word meaning ‘out of nothing.’ Frederick Hart’s original Ex Nihilo, depicting creation, adorns the west façade of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC.” The winery itself is beautiful, there are pics on their website. The show will be in the Tasting Room and the Barrel Room and a few events are also lined up to spice things up during the show. We hope one more partnership, to be announced, will be very exciting and relevant to the idea of sensuality and eroticism.
Show dates will be October 14th to November 9th, just after Winefest. Deadline for submissions will be September 25th. The Call to Artists will be coming out today so stay tuned!
