FAQs
I’m interested in helping organize Art Erotica… how do I get involved?
Art Erotica is brought to you by The Octopus Club, a grassroots volunteer fundraising arm of Vivent Health Austin, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Paul Kirby Emergency Fund through annual events and parties operating out of Austin, Texas.
Art Erotica is 100% volunteer organized and run. As a result, we are constantly looking for volunteers who are passionate about sex, art, and charity! If that sounds like you, please reach out to us at info@arterotica.org and introduce yourself!

There are also some number of donated pieces from local companies or that are commissioned from artists all over the United States, and even across the globe.
