About the Okanagan Erotic Art Show

The Erotic Show came about because in 2007, Lauren Wilson, Angela Hansen and myself (Julia Trops) were talking about having an art show that was a bit more exciting than the usual fare of the run of the mill exhibitions. We wanted to have some FUN!

The first show at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in 2008 was a huge success. This was new for Kelowna, the calibre of submissions was very high, and the interest is definitely there. In 2009, the show was at A. Woodside Design Gallery and you can see for yourself how successful it was. See the videos on the video page.

For 2010, it’s been a rough go. The Okanagan Erotic Art Show was to be held Friday April 30, Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2 as part of the event the Xtream Fantasy Sex Show, however because of problems with the show’s organization, this event did not happen. I have found a new venue for the Erotic Art Show – it has taken some time, because it was important to find the right atmosphere, and fit and attitude for the art show. I am please to announce that the 2010 Okanagan Erotic Art Show will be at Ex Nihilo Vineyards Oct 14 to November 9. I am very excited about this partnership.

Addendum: Opening night was tremendously successful. Going international for the Call to Artists was the right thing to do. Moving the show to an open accepting environment was the right thing to do. Upping the standard of the work is status quo, and next year will be even better. Perhaps the introduction of awards will occur in 2011, but I need sponsors for that. If you know anyone who would be interested please send them this website and have them contact me. Looking forward to seeing more work next year! Let’s raise the bar once again!
