We need an Installation Art Director!

The Installation Art Director has an interesting role, interfacing directly with artists who are creating interactive work for the Festival. He/she works closely with me to curate the incoming submissions, dole out the grant funding we have to offer, and facilitate these projects reaching fruition. It's a fun job that requires an open mind, a sense of humor, good organization skills, some artistic sensibilities, and the unique style of diplomacy necessary to successfully manage artists.

Please share the above with anyone you think might be interested. They can contact the Seattle Erotic Art Festival's Director at clayton@seattleerotic.org with questions or to express interest.

More art!





Last night I had an art date with a dear friend of mine, Leopold. Once upon a time, when we were both a part of the Little Red Studio Troupe, we had discussed an ambient performance for a gender themed show that Jim Duvall had proposed. The time had finally come when we were both in a space to revisit that idea. Jim was very receptive and immediately put forth his suggestions. A collaboration had begun!

A lot of detail and thought and meticulous planning went into this shoot. Way more than I usually do. I hope you enjoy the results.
