TASTEFULLY RISQUE: THE ART OF SUGGESTION
Join us for A One-Night Peek Where Art Flirts with the Forbidden
This curated show will open for one night only at our Speakeasy Soiree fundraiser ~ an evening that celebrates art, allure, and the beauty of mystery. We're seeking works that explore the sensual, the daring, and the unseen ~ pieces that evoke emotion through elegance, intimacy, and imagination.
This evening is 21+ and will feature live jazz, poetry performance, and craft cocktails, set in an immersive 1920's ambiance.
All accepted artists receive a FREE TICKET to the event.
All media welcome.
NOTE: This exhibition celebrates artistic sophistication and the human form ~ not vulgarity. Works should maintain elegance, intention, and respect for the theme of tasteful sensuality.
