I’m honored to again have an opportunity to participate in the Seattle Erotic Art Festival Literary Art Showcase. Last year I had the privilege of working with Literary Art Showcase Director Shana Deon, an amazing woman who conceived of the Showcase and invested a tremendous amount of energy and innovation to make it happen. She worked with the SEAF team to incorporate the first ever erotic literary showcase produced as part of any erotic art show.

Founded in 2002 by the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, the Seattle Erotic Art Festival promotes freedom of sexuality, speech and creativity through the erotic expression of fine art. The juried event, which has expanded over the years and now fills an exhibit hall at the Seattle Center, features work not easily found in mainstream galleries and museums. Selected pieces show the diversity of human sexual expression and explore the vast creativity that artists employ.

Created to highlight writing as an art form, the 2009 inaugural Literary Showcase featured work by poets, playwrights and authors from across the country. During SEAF, selected writing was exhibited through live readings and specially designed books in a luxurious environment created by Director Shana.

I enjoyed working with Shana so much last year, that I signed on early this year to help her make the showcase even more spectacular. (Plus, I owe SEAF a great personal debt, since I met my precious submissive, Patrick, there last year.)

This year I’ll help promote the showcase and will select the pieces exhibited from the finalists chosen by the other jurors. I’ll also attend the festival and do a reading sometime during the weekend. If you’re interested in submitting a piece for consideration, the call for writers is open until March 15.

   Didn’t even know of it until I stumbled on this. Sounds really cool.
