How do I get a ticket?
For ticket information and to purchase entry to the event, see the Tickets page. Our partner organization and beneficiary Vivent Health provides our ticketing services.
If you have (or want to make!) art to donate to Art Erotica for auction, each donated piece entitles you to one (1) ticket.
Alternatively, if you want to provide a larger level of support to our cause, consider becoming a Sponsor! Sponsors get a bundle of tickets depending on their sponsorship level, as well as some additional goodies to show our appreciation for your gift.

Where does the art come from?
All of the art at Art Erotica is donated by someone like you! Please consider creating or finding some art to donate!
