September 10-12 Los Angeles, Ca. – Hugh Smith

Erotic Signature presented the exhibition Art Undressed in Los Angeles as part of the three city tour of Erotica. In the words of the founders of Erotic Signature “One of the primary goals of Erotic Signature is to promote the work of the many talented artists who have already made an impression in the subject of erotic art, but as equally to offer those who are unknown or just starting out an opportunity to prove their gift and ability to the world. Our intent is to serve as a vehicle to help communicate the seriousness of this art genre and change the perspective of those who do not consider this art form as “Real Art”.

This event was held at the BoxEight Studios in Los Angeles, and was the second of a three part multi-city event showing the 2009 winners of the Erotic Art contest sponsored by Erotic Signature (http://eroticsignature.com/jcms/). 

The art event featured not only paintings and photographs, but performance art in several venues at BoxEight featuring an aerialist, bondage demonstrations, poetry readings and other live artists.

Contests are held each year and there are cash prizes as well as marketing exposure and publication for the participating artists.

The final exhibit is in San Francisco, Ca.
