The call for installation art is now closed. We hope to be able to offer this grant again next year.

The Seattle Erotic Art Festival is very pleased to announce our first grant for visual artists. Selected artists will be granted up to $750 to create works of art that feature a participatory element. Interactive installation art is extremely popular and artists enjoy significant notoriety as the result of media and audience reviews of the Festival.

We are seeking work that encourages the audience to become part of the art; that creates a memorable Festival experience; and that is physically, emotionally and creatively stimulating. Artists must be willing to work closely with the Festival curators with regard to appropriate lighting, size, materials, safety, etc., and should have enough experience to be self-sufficient, requiring little to no assistance or materials from Festival staff.
